Walking Near the National Gallery

I have never taken a horse-drawn buggy in Ottawa, but I think it would be a lovely way to see the downtown sights.














The weather was perfect last weekend, so we headed downtown...














Others were enjoying the sights from a different perspective, in a horse-drawn carriage...














But we, like them, saw the National Gallery, perched on a cliff above the Ottawa River, the border between Ontario and Quebec.














And the giant spider in front of the Gallery (with the Parliament Buildings behind it in the distance).


















Like them, we passed by the Mint, a building that resembles a well-guarded palace.


















We admired the cathedral, across the street from the Gallery, looking up...


















And then... looking back... on our way to have a cafe latte in Byward Market!

It was a gorgeous day!
