Ottawa? Why Ottawa?
As some of you might well know I have a younger brother who has been living in Canada. He is a any of very few words, so I when the invitation to his wedding came earlier this year, I was very happy, as it ended up dove-tailing quite neatly with the rest of the grand tour.
Sights of Ottawa
Ottawa is a modern growing city and an odd an unusual mixture architecture. Some of it is very pretty, being a mix of the typical Canadian (neo-gothic in flavour) style form the mid 1800 and early 1900, some of is nicely designed modern building that blend in well with the older houses and edifices, and and some of it rather ugly and late 1970’s and 1980’s utilitarian. Having said all that the walk along the river was a most interesting and pleasant experience.
Here are some examples, of what I mean:
 Center Block, Candian Parliment Ottawa |

 Mixture of new and old architecture |
 Historic Locks on Riedau Canal |
Panorama from the Parliament Hill
This 3 part panorama shows part of Gatinaeu, the Ottawa River, and the National Gallery building on the east side of the Rideau Canal. Along with the above photos. it illustrates the green nature of the city and the mixed and varied style of architecture.
