Long Weekend in Ottawa
Recently, we travelled to Ottawa for my son's wedding. Other than the cottage, it was our first trip in nearly 2 years. We stayed at the majestic Chateau Laurier and had a beautiful - if not panoramic - view of the Rideau Canal and the Parliament Buildings.

I didn't take many photos that weekend, and most of those I did make were on my iPhone. It still captures a decent image, though. Many images were captured through our view from the hotel.

I managed a couple quick iPhone photos of the newlyweds. Not the best quality, but I'm sure the real photographer captured some great images. It was a beautiful, simple service at the Umbrella Bar down by the water.
