A whole bunch of really nice photos of our beautiful city

Last week was busy with prep for Canada Day, and the week before I was on vacation, and the email box is overflowing. So in an attempt to clear it out, here are a few reader photo submissions.

Alicia Wanless sent along these two colourful photos from the recent Spencerville Mill Heritage Fair.

Douglas Murray sent us this photo of the Ottawa River on the first day of summer.  It’s at Remic Rapids, not too far from Tunney’s Pasture.

Speaking of Remic Rapids, here’s a photo by Wendy Stevenson.  This art is by John Felice Ceprano .

Here’s one of the guards at the War Memorial, at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.  Photographer Christine Leblanc says: “The Soldier’s stance is powerful in performing his duty.  It tells us, we are and will remain safe from harm.  Yet, his overall expression also tells us he is filled with remembrance for those who have fallen.”

And finally, can you believe this is Brittania Beach?
