Odds And Ends Around A National Capital

 I have some odds and ends from the last few months for you over the next three days. I start with these shots from before Christmas, when I was returning across the Ottawa River on the Alexandra Bridge from a visit to the Museum of History. I photographed the Ottawa skyline over the frozen river.

I used the bridge itself to frame Kiweki Point.

My path took me past the Peacekeeping Monument, with Notre Dame in the background.

I hadn't posted this shot from the Christmas market at Lansdowne. At the east side of the Aberdeen Pavilion, there had been a spot with regularly carved ice sculptures.

Late in the month, passing through the Glebe neighbourhood, I photographed this building I've passed by on occasion. It is in fact a church, a Quaker congregation.

In mid-January, back at Lansdowne Park, I photographed the Aberdeen Pavilion at night.

I've been occasionally photographing the development of the future main branch of the Ottawa Public Library at Lebreton Flats. The building will also house some space for Library and Archives Canada. Most of the work now is being done inside. I took this shot from the north in January.

One day I stopped by the National Gallery of Canada briefly. This looks up through the reflecting pool from below.

Outside, Maman by Louise Bourgeois is always worth taking a photo of.

I attended a PWHL game at Lansdowne. The game is fast paced, and the crowd enjoys it.

In early February, out in Nepean, I took time to photograph a church I haven't photographed since before Covid, I believe. Julian of Norwich Anglican Church stands out well in winter.
