Rideau Canal and Ottawa Skyline by lynnmm1961 on flickr

Why can't I figure out where that picture is taken from?

My guess would be just south of that little bridge in the Arboretum across from the north most parking lot of Carleton.

Cheers,
Josh

That's what I figured. I've never been that far down the canal, though. Is that downtown in the background? It looks way closer than it should after looking at a map.

The lens they are using is probably telephoto.. it mashes the background (downtown) with the foreground so it looks closer than it is.

Just image if there was a 40 and 50 story tower in the picture, you would feel like you were downtown. Damn I want a signature tower now.

Cheers,
Josh

I had the same thought. That skyline could really use a marquee building to help us orient ourselves in these photos.

Why didn't they think of us poor internet picture viewers when they set those height limits?

Great shot. It confirms my opinion that the NAC probably looked much better when viewed from above, at model-scale, on a table.

Amazing photo, the framing unfortunately makes it look like it's in an office park.

Agreed. And, for me, it got more interesting the more I looked at it.
