The Ottawa Locks

Written by on July 27, 2009 – 11:32 am18 Comments

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.
