View from my friend's apartment. The War Museum is plainly visible. Looks like development is finally happening on the LeBreton Flats.
The old paper mills and Hull's bureaublocs behind.
St. Patrick's Basilica.
Another new development at Bank and Slater.
The new CBC building. The first pic shows the Queen Street side, the other, the Sparks Street side.
Parts of Sparks don't look that vibrant.
I forgot about this faux "Changing of the Guard" ceremony. It's cute. I just happened to see a parade going up Wellington before realizing what it was.
The Visitor's Centre has a neat model of the Ottawa/Hull downtown area.
After that silly thing, I decided to explore the rest of Ottawa a bit, including Westboro, which was on the first thread.
Nothing like riding a busway in the middle of farms (this is the new Woodroffe section to Barrhaven).
From Westboro, I got pics from the #2 bus (the bus routes there don't have names) down Wellington, Somerset, Bank, Wellington, and Rideau.
Nominee as one of the ugliest government buildings in a city full of ugly government buildings. At Rideau and Prince Edward.
I decided to check out Rideau Hall, one of the best bargains of the city - it's free to check out the G-G's front rooms. She also gets a whole crew of gardeners.
Of course, when I get there, the facade is covered by tarp.
Funny how the Beefeaters guard an open gate.
Nice house across Sussex. What's with all the security?
Old Ottawa City Hall.
Foreign Affairs. Also known as Fort Pearson.
Time to go home (on a mode of transportation less guilt-inducing than Porter)
