One day in the latter half of October, I stopped downtown to visit a few spots for fall photos. I got off a bus at Plaza Bridge, where I photographed the view southward towards the National Arts Centre, at right, with the Rideau Canal down to the left.
My first destination on this day was Major's Hill Park, on the east side of the Ottawa Locks, where the Canal descends to meet the Ottawa River. Parliament Hill is on the west side.
The steep slope of the Hill has a lot of trees, particularly photogenic in the fall.
The Bytown Museum lies down below. Its regular hours resume in the spring, I believe.
Across the wide expanse of the Ottawa River, we have Gatineau in Quebec. The great rise of the Gatineau Hills is in the background.
The Canadian Museum of History is also over there.
The park is close by, on the bluff at right.
