Photowalk: Downtown Ottawa

Today I decided to take a stroll around downtown while waiting for my hubby's appointment to finish. The hot weather and the lovely sunshine really were a mood booster for me and I enjoyed this hour of revisiting places I have not been to in quite a while. Downtown is not far away from home but still I rarely drive there for picturing. After today, I am thinking that I should get there more often.

The Canadian Tribute to Human Rights, also known as the Human Rights Monument, is a monumental sculpture located at the corner of Lisgar and Elgin streets in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It was designed by Montreal artist and architect Melvin Charney and unveiled by Tenzin Gyatso, the fourteenth Dalai Lama, on September 30, 1990. (Source: Wikipedia)
