The Capital

Some of the leaves are still on the trees, giving the occasional stunning sight. The Canadian flag flies proudly atop the Peace Tower, by the Parliament buildings.
The Rideau canal connects the Ottawa River with the St Lawrence River - it is now mostly used as a leisure facility, including skating in winter, and it's just been partly drained in preparaion for this.

Near the Parliament buildings is a cat sanctuary, with numerous strays being fed by volunteers. This cat seems to be doing well on the food, but is developing rodent features.
