YOW: Aerial View

This is Ottawa from above. In the centre of the foreground is Parliament Hill. Downtown is to the right and the ByWard Market to the left. The Rideau Canal can also be seen in the photo as it comes through the city and connects at the locks with the Ottawa River.

A nice combination of the right flight path, the right altitude and the right sunlight. Would have looked nicer without the snow, but beggars can't be choosers.

Turns out the description attached to this photo is actually describing a photo I took just before this one. In the photo here, Parliament Hill is actually toward the top right corner and the rest of downtown isn't really in the shot. The bottom right is Gatineau. You can see all three relevant waterways here... On the left is the Rideau River, on the right is the Rideau Canal, both of which flow into the larger Ottawa River. The ByWard Market is in the top portion of the picture, between the Rideau River and the Canal.
