Here is a really awesome pano of Ottawa at night. I had to borrow it from: http://andrewknapp.my-expressions.com/archives/2835_1035448316/239360

Has anyone seen the skyline from the champlin bridge?
C'est tellement beau!!!

Check it out (and while your there, go and take a walk on the Aylmer waterfront! 10 minutes from there...)!

[harls]

Here's a shot from bate island, right by champlain br.. this was a couple of days before canada day in 2006, hence the monster flag on constitution square..

So the tallest building in Ottawa/Gatineau is not even in Ottawa, its Terraces de la Chaudiere in Hull. Kind of funny, and sad at the same time ain't it!?

[Ottawade]

As much as I like skyscrapers I think sometimes people on this forum jump too quickly on the idea that something taller is necessarily better and we need some 40 story building to bump our city up to the next level. I agree with that sentiment in time, but you don't want some 40-story monstrosity overtaking everything else it needs to be natural.

Looking at these pictures however, a good sized building with a nice decorative spire could really add something to our skyline. Parliament has nice caps, we need something similar on a 30ish story building

Which is why Stinsons' brainchild in Hamilton didn't work out. Would have stuck out like a sore thumb. Hell, even the developer of our tallest (Landmark Place) thought so.

Don't know if shown before, but here's a huge pano looking east, by the 417 between Kanata and Moodie Drive.

A big improvement to Ottawa's skyline would be the demolition of Place de Ville's Tower C (that's the hideous brown box that dominates the western edge of downtown). It's only 29 storeys, yet it's bulk and ugliness is hard to miss from many vantage points, especially looking east from the parkway.

Once levelled, replace Tower C with a truly landmark building that would complement the Peace Tower rather than competes with it.

A very nice Ottawa skyline shot from LHTP on Flickr. Not really a pano, but if I cut out some of the sky it would become one.

[ty7er]

Man, I think that is offically the nicest Ottawa skyline shot I've seen. Most Ottawa skyline shots I've seen before have been kind of underwhelming, but in this shot Centretown is really looking pretty long and dense. I like it!

[Zach6668]

Is it really that colourful?

[harls]

The saturation has been upped a bit. I am also guilty of that trick.

I've been to that spot too..

Beautiful picture!

I find it interesting how the Peace Tower being hidden in the steam makes the West Block Tower (does it have a name?) look more impressive.

[Kitchissippi]

...the West Block Tower (does it have a name?)....

I think it's called the Mackenzie Tower

OK, try again.. should work.

[waterloowarrior]

Hmm... the most obvious I guess would be Lebreton Flats I/II and a tower rising in 'ull (72 Laval?)

Great shots btw!

[Desi]

I would LOVE to get the picture in the first post done up as a large print. As many quirks as this city has, I've always been proud to call Ottawa home and would place that print somewhere in my home in a heartbeat. I've tried searching for a super-size version to no avail. I may have to take a Camera out at night and try and replicate it if the search remains fruitless...

I attempted this shot again, this time from Bate Island (the first one was off Champlain Bridge). I like the view from the bridge better.

Is there any way I can get any of these as prints to blow up and make into a poster or canvas to put up in my rec room when I finish renovating it? I'd love to have one of the Manhattan prints they have at Ikea, but I'd rather have Ottawa or Toronto or Calgary, especially if they were in B/W like the ikea prints...

No problem at all. I had already posted it in the skyline thread but it quickly got buried by Toronto and Calgary shots.

[Acajack]

You should have dropped by my place when you took that. Right in my neighbourhood! Though my house is not in the shot.

[O-Town Hockey]

No problem at all. I had already posted it in the skyline thread but it quickly got buried by Toronto and Calgary shots.

As always, nice for Ottawa to represent once in a while too.

Not the best photo out there... but thought I'd share it anyways.

:previous:

I think it's quite a nice one - I don't think we have any other panos up with the view from the south. Was that taken from the roof of the Mackenzie building at Carleton?

[Luker]

It is certainly intresting, and I would bet on it being the new canal building...

[citizen j]

No problem at all. I had already posted it in the skyline thread but it quickly got buried by Toronto and Calgary shots.

I bumped it but it got buried again rather quickly by a comparison of Winnipeg and Jacksonville, FL and some requisite shots of The Bow. Anyway, thanks for the photo!

Thanks for the compliment! It was taken from the 7th floor (which i actually the 6th floor) of the new Canal Building. So Luker was bang on with his guess. I can gladly take some more photos from this location, and next time I go up Dunton Tower, there is a nice view from up there as well.

[MountainView]

Again, not the best, but a different view for you all to look at.

[Ottawan]

Again, I really like it. Cool the way Ottawa almost looks like a forest with a few buildings sticking out. I'm having more trouble figuring out where exactly this one is taken from. Is it from the Royal Ottawa Hospital?

Before the trees all got their leaves, you could see a lot more buildings and homes, but now that they are in full bloom, it definitely does look like a forest!

And the shot is taken from the apartment complex immediately east of Carlingwood Shopping Centre. It's my summer view :)

[Exewau]

Nicely done - was this from the bike path on the Gatineau side yesterday?

If so I was there around 2pm doing the Champlain Bridge/Aylmer/War Museum Champlain Bridge loop.

I think the crane on the extreme right is the one at Wellington at Island Park.

Again - great shot!

[Kitchissippi]

Thanks. Took it while paddling on the river.

Thanks, flickr won't let me make it any bigger. It's a bit more detailed. Ottawa is very green, looks like downtown is the middle of a forest. Was kind of suprised. It's from the Civic campus of the Ottawa Hospital. I'd say I'm 30-40m up. I have one from the same angle but twice as far I'll post it soon.

[S-Man]

Was just going to say it must be near parkdale and the Queensway. Lots of green in that neighbourhood.

[flar]

Not a pano really, but an interesting view of the city from last March. Unfortunately the quality is poor. I fixed it up the best I could.

Thank you, I love your region :)

[jeremy_haak]

Nice shot! What is the red brick building just below the Parliament Buildings?

[KHOOLE]

Very beautiful.
Where was it taken from? Lemieux Island? Prince of Wales Bridge?

[Kitchissippi]

The brick building is the Lemieux island water purification plant. I took the photo from the eastern tip of Bate island — actually the river is so low you can walk out pretty far from the regular shore. From this angle and distance, the depth of field melds the buildings together, but I particularly like the way the spires and copper roofs are dominant and the crystal hall of the National Gallery looks like it's on the other side. Someone with a better camera should go out there and take a nicer shot.

[FiereSansVoiture]

The angle is very flaterring to Gatineau's skyline, it makes it seems like our downtown is one big cluster rather than having a gap between Portage and TC.

[KHOOLE]

The angle is very flaterring to Gatineau's skyline, it makes it seems like our downtown is one big cluster rather than having a gap between Portage and TC.

If a picture is taken of the Ottawa skyline from the Parc des Portageurs, just west of the old Eddy Building where the bicycle path to Aylmer starts and the old portage path still is, all that is seen west of the Parliament Hill precinct is a massive wall of tall buildings, all about the same height and with no particular interesting features. Not very inspiring.

Lets hope that the Cathedral Hill project will add some values in front of that wall of buildings. It's not postcard pretty.

Nice photo Kitchissippi. I have never seen so much construction activity in downtown Ottawa. It will be interesting to see how this city develops over the next 5-10 years with so many major projects going on (light rail, Rideau expansion, Lansdowne, Preston-Carling, etc..).

[O-Town Hockey]

Great shot Kitch, lots of activity down at that end of CBD this year. Next year it will be the West side with a bunch of cranes (Lebreton, Bayview, Gotham....).
