Any chance we might get an update from our friendly SSP aerial photog this winter????

There are a bunch of different threads, none of which I'm sure where to put this. But it's an image I took from Lost Ottawa of Ottawa's skyline looking West from the 70s. You can see the Marriott under construction.

I find this picture makes Ottawa look like an interesting city. The fact that you have many different buildings with different styles and varying heights really defines Ottawa's skyline in this image.

Ah, life before the canyons...

Awesome! I always thought the Marriott (I believe Radisson back then) was completed before Place de Ville C.

Cool pic.

Guess the camera location? My vote is Blackburn.

J.OT13 · #27 Posted **Oct 4, 2013, 4:56 PM**

Yup, Blackburn. I would love to see more pictures of Place de Ville in the 60s and 70s. There was one in the Citizen in 2007 (picture dated 1967) of PdV I under construction taken from the west or north-west, but I was never able to find it online.

Had the opportunity to take this picture today from a vantage point I have never seen the city from (excuse the blurriness). I like how dense it felt from this spot (even though it is not a super dense city). It looks really built out in this image.

Nice vantage point! The Merit looks great!
How come it's really blue?

Were you in this building?

I got this shot a couple of years ago. I might have gone a little overboard on the effects, but I like it all the same!

I wasn't sure where to post these, but I thought you guys may appreciate these absolutely stunning shots, courtesy of Peak Aerials.

For a second there, I was wondering why there were two Parliament Hills on the same picture

Snapped these this weekend. That "island with a bunch of seagulls in it" aka Hull island, makes for an interesting foreground. It makes Ottawa look wilder. The rocks actually have a really fascinating texture close up, in contrast to the alluvial islands farther downstream.
