Reflections In Ice

At the NCC Info Centre, Ice Carving Artists get set to work their magic on the blocks of frozen water. I can't be sure but it looks like they are making a smaller version of the building across the street.

A Beautiful Sight

With Winterlude starting just six day's from when the picture was taken, a lot of hardworking people are glad to see the canal open again. This is only a small crowd compared to how many will be here for the largest Winter Festival in Canada.

HEY ! WAIT FOR ME

The Rideau Canal is open once again all but a little late this year. A young boy try's to keep up to his family on a beautiful, bright winter day. Picture taken Saturday, January 28, 2007.

PARLIAMENT LIT UP FOR CHRISTMAS

Ottawa is celebrating it's 150th Anniversary of being named the Capital of Canada. During this year of celebrating, I will post lot's of pictures of how Ottawa is this year, 150 years later. I will try to capture the Landmarks, the Festivals, street scenes, nature and some people that make this a great place to live. Also included will be some of the out-lying areas that Ottawan's enjoy as being part of the National Capital Area. I'm a music junkie so I will try to include many of the artist's and venue's that feed my habit. I am knew to Blogging so bear with me as I get the hang of working with this medium. Feel free to comment at anytime. Please enjoy my attemt to capture this in pictures.
