Ahoy, me hearties! It’s Repost Wednesday! A hunt through the archives didn’t turn up anything sufficiently nautical to honour International Talk Like a Pirate Day, so I went with a picture of the Canadian Parliament instead- politicians, pirates, it’s all the same, right?
(See more pictures from Ottawa on Journey Photographic here)

Super photo JP…love the movement in the snow around the light pole!
It was really coming down when I took this picture – but I loved the effect it gave.
Arrrr!
I could look at that picture for hours. Don’t know why but it really stirs some emotions in me, I just want to be there!
Thank you Traveller. I feel the same way about this one.
Very nice. I like shooting snow photos myself and I must say that you’ve done a great job here.
Thanks Cardinal.
I lived there for nearly 12 years back in the 80s/90s. I was actually back in Ottawa a few weeks ago to show my kids around. Ottawa’s great in the summer, but it doesn’t look nearly as nice as your winter shot.
Thanks Mike – I’ve visited Ottawa a few times, and, while I enjoyed exploring the city more in the warmer weather, the winter was definitely more photographically inspiring for me. I hope you and your kids enjoyed your trip back.
