Victoria Island, Ottawa

These photos were all taken at/on Victoria Island in Ottawa yesterday. The island is at the base of Chaudiere Falls and at one time there were 14 mills there that drew power from the Falls. The buildings are (almost) all abandoned now but many of the structures remain in tact, from the outside anyway. Despite being "caught" again TWICE, I took quite a lot of shots and here are a bunch of my faves. I'm really glad we found these places!

To start off my photography blog, I'm going to cheat a little and post a few photos from my trip to San Diego last week (Society for Neuroscience meeting); the reason being it's gray and cold outside and I can't drag myself out to snap some photos. It was the first time I'd really used my new Nikon so I feel it's appropriate :)
