Changing Views Through The Seasons

It is a tradition of mine to document the change of seasons from a couple of different locations. I begin with a spot in Major's Hill Park, where I come to once a month to photograph the view looking west towards Parliament Hill as it looms above the Ottawa River.

I took this first shot in early January of last year.

In later February, I returned.

I came back once again in the first half of March.

By mid-April, spring was underway.

Less than a month later, when I was passing through the park during the Tulip Festival, much had changed, with most trees leafed out.

I returned in the latter half of June.

A month later, on a hot day in late July, I was back.

I returned in early August and took this shot.

When I came back at the middle of September, here's how things were looking.

Upon my return in the second half of October, fall colours were established.

In the second half of November, snow was falling as I returned.

My last shot of this series, taken in the first half of December, was taken at night. Ice was developing on the river below the Hill. Tomorrow we'll do a similar series, from further west along the river.
