The National Gallery of Canada and the Notre Dame Cathedral Basilica glow a warm hue from the setting sun (not in frame). Major's Hill Park lies before these iconic Ottawa landmarks, in Lowertown, as viewed from Parliament Hill. To the left of the gallery, in front of it, red umbrellas from an outdoor café contrast the greenery of the park. Clouds gently hang in the distance. In the immediate foreground, green leaves from bushes line the bottom of the frame. The ground drops off between the bushes and Major's Hill Park, owing to a ravine that holds the Rideau Canal as it lowers to the Ottawa River (also, not appearing in this photo).

In my hands is a thermos bottle that was filled with boiling water.

The National Gallery of Canada, in Ottawa, is lit up at night. The Great Hall shows its glass and steel construction. The photo was taken before maintenance was performed on the glass, and all drapes that normally hang from the hall were removed, giving the structure a bare, almost skeleton-like appearance.

High atop the Castelo dos Mouros, in Sintra, Portugal, looking down the ramparts, which are rain-soaked. A fog has descended on this historic castle and is so thick that you cannot see beyond the walls.

A disused railway bridge spans a river. Its rusted, iron truss and rails are painted in graffiti of various pastel shades. Grass, weeds, and moss grow between the ties.

Ottawa's Parliament Hill shows the centre block with its Peace Tower. The clock at the top shows it's almost 6:15 and the sun has just set. Flowers in the foreground, with bushes behind them, spread across the lawn and lead toward the building. Trees to the right of the building have yet to bloom. The sky above is covered by cloud.

The island hill town of Mont-Saint-Michel, in Normandy, France, seen from a distance. Low tide makes it appear that the hill is connected to the mainland. Clouds gather in the sky, above.

A crooked boardwalk cuts through the growth that surrounds Mer Bleue Bog, in Ottawa's east end. Bare trees, some dead, stand in the background and partly shield the blue sky that has some scattered clouds. The growth, on either side of the boardwalk, is a rusty brown with patches of dull green, mixed with pale, dried rushes. The path is off-centre, to the right, and leads straight ahead, into the woods.

Sunrise on the Mayan Riviera, in Mexico. The sun casts a warm, orange and yellow glow through blue and purple clouds and illuminate the Caribbean Sea. Tropical plants obscure the view of the beach.

A wide-angle shot, looking up at the Fairmount Chateau Laurier hotel in Ottawa, Canada. Dramatic clouds loom overhead but a sunset changes the blue-grey clouds to a warm yellow, and parts of the hotel are cast in a warm, orange glow. There's a bit of distortion, caused by the wide lens, that makes the hotel flare out at its base.

A flock of about 30 cedar waxwing birds perch upon a bare tree. It's nearly spring and buds are visible on the thin branches. A grey sky creates a dull background.
