Transport Canada's latest aerial photos of the Ottawa River offer more evidence of the destructive power of this spring's flooding, even as water levels begin to subside.

A Transport Canada photographer captured the images on Saturday, several days after an earlier flight surveyed the flood zone from Petawawa, Ont., to Repetigny, Que.

Water levels peaked throughout most of the region on Thursday. Here was the view from the sky on the weekend.
