Odds And Ends In Ottawa

 More odds and ends for you today. I took this shot downtown in late July. This is a work in progress, a residential complex that has a visual appeal, replacing what was once a block of haphazard and underused office buildings.

At the beginning of the month, I was in attendance at Lansdowne Park for a rugby game. The Canadian women were playing the American women, and won the game handily. The stadium hosts an international game or two each year, and it is a fast paced, tough game. The crowd seemed to really enjoy it.

After end of game, I made it down to field level.

Heading home, the spire of Glebe-St. James United Church, disappearing in the darkness, made for a compelling photo op.

This is a shot of the Justice Building, the westernmost of the Parliamentary blocks on the Hill. I was departing the Supreme Court when the carvings above the door caught my eye.

Pausing to cross the street, I looked towards the Bank of Canada, which has its original headquarters partially embedded in the contemporary building.

And once I'd crossed the street, I paused to photograph the Justice Building and the Confederation Building, the next Parliamentary block to the east.

A little later that day, en route to take other photos, I was passing through Major's Hill Park. Bees were busy around these flowers.
