Gallery (55 images): Ottawa - Early 2025
At the end of January, I helped my wife Emily move to Ottawa, where she was starting a fantastic new job at the National Gallery of Canada's conservation department. It was bitterly cold and I didn't take too many photos, but the first ten in the gallery are from that time.
Then, during the week after Easter in late April, I visited her again. I took one day to wander the city while she was at work and took many shots. Sadly, the Parliament Buildings were undergoing a lot of work and there were many construction cranes, scaffolding and other building materials everywhere, interfering with my photos. The weather was beautiful and quite warm, but nothing was blooming yet. The trees were sadly still bare.
In September I will finally be joining her myself, and I am looking forward to some good weather and green trees to take more photos! For the foreseeable future, you won't be seeing any more new trips to the US Southwest deserts, rather I will be posting new galleries from our new life and travels in eastern Canada! Of course I am very behind with US trip image galleries too, so I will certainly be posting more of those as well. And, I still haven't finished all the galleries from our honeymoon in Hawaii either. Stay tuned!
Lastly, here are two stitched panoramas, one from the Rideau Street bridge overlooking the Rideau Canal, and the second from just north of the Parliament Buildings, a view where the Rideau Canal connects to the Ottawa River. You can see the Alexandra Bridge heading over to Quebec, and the National Gallery of Canada just right of centre. Click on the images to open a larger view in a new window or tab...
