Close Up of the Canadian Parliament
The Parliament is definitely the Canadian landmark I get to see the most: I work in its shadow every day. Yet, it still impresses me – I always seem to find new details and new angles.
Parliament Hill is a very busy place in spring: hordes of tourists visit the Parliament, politicians and MPs are wrapping things up for the summer and locals enjoy relaxing on the grass in front of the Center Block.
You can see the whole Ottawa Spring set here.

really nice set of images. it certainly looks like a building whose pictures should be taken again and again
@micki — Oh yes, summer is a busy time on Parliament Hill because so many tourists visit the Parliament. That’s where Canada Day celebrations take place too.
@Yogi — Thank you!
@DianeCA — It does have an English feel I guess. Must be the gothic architecture.
@Linguist-in-Waiting — Not sure if it’s Chinese, probably not. More likely a native influence.
@Soleil — Yes, I like this gothic style!
@Charles Dastodd — I never seem to get sick of it
The Peace Tower looks a bit like Big Ben!?
Especially, with the bokeh effect!
You took great pictures than me Zhu
