Back to the land of snow and ice after a wonderful month of February in Australia. Recently I have made a couple of attempts to KAP the Wakefield bridge without any success so a couple of weeks have elapsed without succeeding with any kite aerial photography. Finally a nice day arrived to do some work with the Parliament buildings and the still frozen landscape. Here are some of the shots from this session.

KAP 2008-34: Victoria Island, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. June 14, 2008

I returned to the Victoria Island area after 1 week as I was asked to try to get some pictures of a wedding taking place on the small island between Victoria Island and the Ontario shoreline. I have not included any of the wedding photos as they are private but I have included here some of the general area shots that I took that day. These photographs were taken using kite aerial photography (KAP).

KAP 2008-32: Victoria Island, Canadian Rivers Day, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. June 8, 2008

This session was planned in order to take pictures of the Canadian Rivers Day – 4th Ottawa Riverkeeper Celebration. This is a guided paddle on the Ottawa River from Victoria Island to Petrie Island. I contribute photography, both aerial and on-the-ground images, as a volunteer with Ottawa Riverkeeper. More information regarding the Ottawa Riverkeeper can be found at ottawariverkeeper.ca. Several of these images have been published on the Ottawa Riverkeeper Website as part of their Canadian Rivers Day report.

These images were taken in the vicinity of Victoria Island on the Ottawa River, near downtown Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. After the guided paddle left the area I continued to photograph the surrounding area. These photographs were taken using kite aerial photography (KAP).
