This is a series of cascades in the east end of Ottawa, Canada, in an area called Orleans.
One of the most photographed castles in the world and possibly the most photographed in Scotland. This castle was featured in the first Highlander movie. It was very interesting inside, with the entrance walkway winding around a large boulder and many small spiral staircases and passageways inside. The weather was bad when I first saw it (as is usually the case in Scotland) and I came back the following day for a better shot.
This is part of the set of cascades known as Hogg's Back Falls in Ottawa, Canada. They are very accessible, being within the city limits and a short walk from the parking lot. There are lots of photographic opportunities here and sometimes the local ducks will pose for photos. This one was actually moving around quite a bit while looking for food, and it took me a lot of shots to time it so that she was standing still during the long exposure that made the water silky smooth.
