View from a highrise

Here are two views from a balcony on the 17th floor of 400 Stewart Street, where I was this morning, looking up and down the Rideau. This building, named Rio Vista, has 24 floors in total. It's listed on Ottawa's Skyscraper Page.

(This island, by the way, has a history; in the nineteenth century, the Cummings family ran a general store on this site, but only trees stand there now.)
