Along side the bike path that goes along the Ottawa river, all the way to the parliament, there is a calm bed of water where a retired Engineer creates unique sculptures out of rocks each summer.

Tango with the Po-Po!

My first time visiting the Parliament building was one of the greatest experiences I have yet to have. It is one of the most beautiful structures I have seen in Canada and it is dripping with Canadian history and culture. Upon my arrival, my peers and I encountered one of many police officers and (naturally) asked one of them to take a photo with us to document this great experience. Instead of the typical picture, the police officer decided to give me a great warm fellow Canadian welcoming, making for what is one of my favourite pictures in the world. It shows how, as Canadians, we are one of the most friendly and fun cultures around!
Parliament Buildings + Lookout
Guestbook/ kseguin82/ Dec 12, 2014
Having recently moved to Ottawa, I frequently go to the Parliament Buildings and the lookout when the weather is nice. The ground at Parliament always has something going on- even when there is not much going on, it is always nice just to walk around.

The Ottawa River flows through Canada’s Capital Region, separating Ottawa and Gatineau. It is, without a doubt, the dominant feature in the landscape of the Capital. This waterway, travelled for thousands of years by the region’s Algonquin inhabitants, played a vital role in the development of Ottawa and Gatineau. For a century and a half, the Capital Region was a hub of the lumber industry, and millions of logs were floated downstream on the Ottawa River.
