Ottawa, Our Country's Capitol!

A long time ago, in a city far far away, I arrived in Ottawa! My Mom and I went to Ottawa way back at the beginning of August, to visit my Cousins. As it had been some time since My Mom was in town, And just as long since I had been there in summer, we, Naturally did some sightseeing.

Confederation Building, Basically just a Government Office Building, but nontheless, looks pretty nifty.

Confederation Building again, this time reflected in the Bank Of Canada Building.

Supreme Court Of Canada, the highest court one can appeal to.

Niagara Falls

I've been a busy busy Guy this Summer, just one of the many things I did, and the places that I have been lucky enough to see, Niagara Falls was one of them.

My friend and I drove from Oshawa to The Falls, and despite a bit of a mix-up in our route, we made it there with fair timing, and great weather.

 Beautiful Sky, just picture perfect weather.

 Some of the Hotels along Niagara Parkway.

 Horseshoe Falls from the back, so technically, the Niagara River.

 The C.N. Tower! hahaha Nah, It's another hotel, The Falls, as one might imagine, are a very touristy location.

 Falls from behind again, with a ton of mist.

 The "Maid Of The Mist", not hard to see where it gets that name from.

 The Captians of the "Maids" have to be very cautious of dangerous water currents, such as the eddy forming near the ship, Left of Centre Frame.

 The American Falls, with Two Maids of the mist, coming and going.

 Rainbow Bridge, A Canadian/American Border crossing

 Maid of the Mist almost going into the falls.

 Horseshoe falls

 The way that Niagara Falls is set up it really reminds me of Las Vegas, Lost of tourist shops, Casinos, and hotels. Plus the fact many people get married, or honeymoon here.

 All the hotels.

 The American Falls

 Me, Obviously, infront of the American falls.

 Horseshoe Falls, With the old Hydro electric plant in the right hand side.

Brave people, the captains of the Maids of the mist.
