I ascended to the platform itself to take in the views. I plan to return in the fall for some sunset views.
Here we have the other of the statues that stood here at Kiweki Point when it was Nepean Point. Samuel de Champlain was the French explorer who first came up the river in 1613. A statue was raised in his honour and placed high on a plinth at the top of the hill. The plinth is gone, but the statue is back near its original location, and standing alone, with the scout that once stood at its base now off on its own. Champlain still looks to the west.
Another sculpture belonging to the National Gallery. This is, I believe, the first time I've photographed it in its own right.
A final view, and a pleasure to have come here.
I especially love ❤️ the water 💧 photos.

I went back and looked at the kneeling statute and agree, they are better apart. Beautiful views of the river. Will look forward to the sunset shots. They will be spectacular!
ReplyDeleteNice views and I like the two bridges.
