From there, we walked in the direction of the Parliament buildings. This shows the lads
on the Wellington St. bridge over the canal. To the right is the Chateau Laurier hotel and one can look down on a series of locks that take the Rideau Canal to the Ottawa River. They were wide open as most of the water has been drained from the Canal for the winter.

And in the distance you see the Royal Alexandra Interprovincial Bridge connecting Ottawa and Gatineau. This steel truss cantilever bridge was the first bridge built across the Ottawa River at Ottawa and was finished at the end of 1900.
