It was a beautiful day in our nations capital so Range and I decided to explore this great city we call home.
I will warn you all now... spring, summer and autumn are my favorite months to shoot pics... so be prepared.
EPISODE I - The Beginning
Went for a walk along the infamous Rideau Canal. The waterway runs straight through Ottawa. During the winter it is the longest skating rink in the world. Our annual Winterlude festival is held on this very canal during the month of February. During the summer months it's a great place to watch the boats float through on their way to the Ottawa River.
You can see here the series of locks that the boats must pass through in order to get out into the Ottawa River....
A shot of the Chateau Laurier. A very upscale hotel where dignitaries and royalty stay while visiting Ottawa. Apparently The Queen has her own private suite.
Just so happens we are in the middle of Tulipfest. The largest showing of tulips anywhere in the world, with the exception of Holland I do believe. People come from all over the country to see the displays of flowers.
Here's a shot of tulips that Canadian artists have decorated and put on display in the courtyard of our City Hall.
SLIM?!?!?!? Is that you????
No Parking??? Nope, we didn't see any No Parking signs officer.
This is our Olympic Flame statue to commemorate the passing of the torch when Canada hosted the 1988 Olympic Games in Calgary.
Here's the Agricultural Building that is housed within our exhibition grounds. Not really sure about the history behind this building... but it looks cool! 8)
Look at our teeny-tiny bikes!!
Here's a shot on the 50 yard line of Frank Clair Stadium, home to the Ottawa Renegades CFL team. This was where the Grey Cup (Canada's equivalent to the SuperBowl) was held last season.
Don't ask how we got into the stadium on our bikes.
Well there you have it. That concludes EpisodeI - The Beginning.
Watch out for EpisodeII - Return of Range , coming soon. 8)
Be afraid. Be VERY afraid.
