The Ottawa Locks

A couple of months ago, I took pictures of the Locks At Dusk. The water was unusually quiet, offering great reflections.

Last week-end, Gail came to Ottawa and we both took tons of pictures on Parliament Hill and at the locks. This time, we arrived in the middle of the actions: a bunch of boats were crossing from the Rideau Canal to the Ottawa River.

We planned to bike from Kingston to Ottawa along the Rideau Canal Trail. Unfortunately the buses didn’t let our bikes in, so we went to Niagara instead.

Great shots, Zhu! I spent quite some time in Ottawa back in June, I can completely forgot to go and take some pictures of the Rideau Canal. Shame on me!
