Returning to my autumn series once more. As the shuttle from the Gatineau Hills was returning, it stopped long enough for me to take this shot in Gatineau.
Back on the Ottawa side of the river, I stopped by the War Museum for a late lunch. The trees across the street were bright red.
After lunch, I headed downtown. The Canadian Firefighters Memorial is near the War Museum, and some of the trees and bushes around it were at their peak. The Memorial includes the large statue of a firefighter, and a wall of names of firefighters who have lost their lives in the line of duty.
These colours are close to home.
One day I stopped by Lansdowne Park, where I photographed more fall colours at the east end of the property. There was a flea market going on.
Today I finish downtown with a sculptural pair I've always liked, standing out against fall colours. An Indigenous hunter crouches on this side of the property, reaching for an arrow and getting his bow ready. At the far side stands a deer, posed as if it has already heard him and is about to bolt.
Gorgeous colours.
