Anyhoo, I took these shots while having lunch today at Merlot, the revolving restaurant which occupies said 28th floor.
This truly is a beautiful city.
Parliament Hill (Duh! Yeah, really)
The Canadian War Museum
The Supreme Court of Canada. If you look closely enough, you can see workers in fluorescent vests, cleaning snow off the front steps.

ai live in ottawa so will have to go down nnd look for those people in the vests cause god i must be bloody well blind. i can't see them in the picture!!
I've been to the Merlot at night. It is a beautiful view. I've been to the revolving restaurant in NYC too, Ottawa is better IMO.
I've been to the one at the top of the CN Tower many, many years ago. It's pretty cool, too.
The Merlot view is amazing when you're facing the river, the Supreme Court and Parliament Hill. The rest is not as attractive.
Raino: Click on the pic and you'll get a super-duper large copy of it, on which you will see the folks in the vests. If you don't, get thee to an optometrist's office.
Took me a minute to makes sense of the unusual orientation of Parliament Hill... we seldom see the view from behind the west block looking east. That's kinda neat!

There's also a revolving restaurant in Vancouver (aptly named "Top Of Vancouver") which is very nice - the city, the coastal mountains and the ocean make it an excellent view. I've also been to the CN Tower for dinner, and the food at either of those restaurants was not the best. I guess that's the trade-off for the great view.
Too bad you didn't win lunch for a year at The Merlot. ;-)
Very nice shots, Bob.
The photos totally capture the essence of Ottawa
