Last Tuesday was a beautiful day. My friend Karine called me up in the morning and proposed we spend the afternoon in the sun. What a great idea. I probably should have worn something less warm. It was so hot out there. After all, the weather forcasted only 16 Celsius degrees.
Then again, the only predictable thing about weather, is that it is unpredictable.
View across the Ottawa river (French: Rivière des Outaouais) (Algonquin: Kichisìpi). That means I'm in Gatineau (Hull sector), Québec looking at Ottawa, Ontario.
The water was low and what a rare opportunity it was to take pictures.
The world is round - and so it seems on some of the pictures I've taken.
The Ottawa river is quite long. The total length of the river is 1,271 kilometers (or 790 miles).
The world is round - These are not man-made rocks, but sedimentary rocks, most likely from the Champlain Sea from the last ice age that covered parts of Québec, Ontario, New York and Vermont 13 000 to
10 000 years ago. This part of the world was once inhabited by seals and whales.
The world is round - Once sediments, now rocks.
Layer upon layer of sedimentary rocks.
In this false-color image, water is black, vegetation is shades of green and gold, and snow is red. The Ottawa River come into the image at top left in the image and flows southeast.
