In September John and I travelled around Canada.  After starting our trip in Montreal we then moved onto Ottawa for a few days and attended Bob and Christine's wedding.

Ottawa is the capital of Canada, however it is quite a small city making it very easy to explore and walk around.

We walked up the hill past the Museum of Contemporary Photography

towards Parliament Hill

 

 

 

 

It all looks rather familiar doesn't it? 

even the dongs sound the same as Big Ben

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The House of Commons, the library and other government offices surround the green.
