I'm happy to see that the sun is shining today (even though it is super cold)! Don't forget to send me pictures of you wearing green and/or an Earth Day chalk message for me to tweet out :)
Here are some photos of a very quiet downtown Ottawa on Monday. This was after 4pm, when the streets are usually packed with cars during rush hour.
The parliament building lawn is under construction right now.
Can you spot the new copper roof they've put on the building?
The War Memorial. Can you spot the rainbow in the window of the National Art Centre (where plays and musicals are performed)?
No water in the canal and you can see the bridge to Quebec in the background!
The Byward Market. Usually this side of the street is filled with fruit and vegetable stands. None to see right now.
The Mackenzie King Bridge in front of the Rideau Centre (the mall). Usually jam-packed with buses, I didn't see one the whole time I walked down this street!
Anyone go skating on the canal this past winter? To the right, you can see the edge of the Ottawa City Hall.
Downtown Ottawa is usually very busy, so it was strange walking around and seeing it so quiet. I hope you enjoy the pictures!
