Picture of the Week: Lonely Dog

One of my favorite place in Ottawa is Par­lia­ment Hill. I work nearby, which I thought was kind of cool when I first started: after all, it is the polit­i­cal cen­ter of Canada.

The Par­lia­ment itself is a beau­ti­ful build­ing. The grounds offer great view of the Ottawa River and Que­bec, right across.

But the best part is the Peace Tower, the cen­tral tower which was built to cel­e­brate the end of World War One. It’s free to take the ele­va­tor up to the top, right below the huge clock. And the view is… amazing!

For the full size pic­tures, head to my Flickr page or the Pics page of this blog.
