Wandering Wellington Street - In Scale

What good is a model if we can't imagine ourselves in it? This often takes the form of photos taken from helicopter or drone height. Using a point and shoot camera, I'm able to 'get down' to layout surface height. Getting back into the modelling season of fall to spring, I am operating the layout most nights, combined with maintenance, building or photography. It was photography this night, and here are the results. Rideau Street (top photo) and Wellington Street (below):
The rear of the Bajus Brewery buildings:
Garage at Place d'Armes coal yard:
Rear of the City Steam Laundry on Wellington Street:
Another view near the coal yard:
Mileboard for CP's station, telltales, and the River Street bridge, under which CN and CP cross. Pay no attention to that secondary track at right. More heavily camouflaged seen from the layout edge, it provides (nearly) hidden track access to a (nominally Anglin) bulk fuel tank spur. Just because I could!
