Light up the evening.. by maggiemae

Light up the evening..

Once more, beautiful weather in Ottawa. I noticed some activity going on down here during the day from our 11th floor balcony and was thrilled to see what they had done! Must be something to do with the 150th Canadian Anniversary.
Three good things;
1. Had the family in for a bbq lunch on the rooftop - hot but ice and cold wine sufficed!
2. A staff member came and cleaned the bbq after we had used it! Think of that!
3. An abundance of watermelon
This is a spectacular POV. I love the composition. It almost looks like the tilt shift photo.

@seattlite Yes, a really natural fruit drink - as it is almost all water!

Oh wow! A long way down!

Such a cool pov! Great capture!

Had to do a double take. I suppose now that we are past the longest day here, we must be building up to Christmas already!

@helenhall I expect that they get support for putting up lights to celebrate the 150th Event for Canada!

@phil_howcroft Well, I was running out of options, Phil ....as I am on this day!

Nice capture and perspective.

Probably no the place to be standing if you have had a few glasses of wine.

@onewing I think if you had had a few glasses of wine or (G&T's) you wouldn't have been capable of leaping over the high balcony sides! Thank goodness!

Love the pov and light. Yummy I love watermelon too. I envy you the warmth as it is so cold here in Christchurch at the moment
June 28th, 2017  
@tracie8266 So I hear - cold and miserable! We have to have the air conditioner on all night at the lowest temperature which seems to be 16deg!
June 28th, 2017  
@maggiemae in 6mths I hope we have something similar. We have to experience the miserable to enjoy our 4 wonderful seasons. Enjoy your day :-)
