Not the best skyline pic, but here's the bike parking at LeBreton Flats for Ottawa's Bluesfest:

Festival goers seem to be embracing cycling and transit. The O-Train has been working very well the last few weeks during major events like Canada Day, Jazz fest and Bluesfest.

Finding your bike there must be like finding your car in a huge parking lot in the era before we all had car alarms and key fobs to make them beep!

It's valet bike parking, so no need to to remember where you parked!

Makes sense although I would probably take my worthless beater to an event like this. The valet would cost more.

Few more pics from the last couple of weeks. Regarding the one taken from Front St., perhaps it was just today's conditions but in person the skyscrapers looked like the CGI you see in movies when they add backgrounds. I think it looks like that in the pic too.
