Reaching for the Light

Reaching for the Light

Regeneration Hall
Canadian War Museum
Ottawa, Ontario

This narrow area that leads into a huge display of war vehicles has some very cool architectural stuff going on. Angles, lines, triangles. Woo!

From the second floor, that large triangular window was laid out so that it perfectly frames the Peace Tower on Parliament Hill.

If you notice those smaller rectangular windows in the upper right of the shot, they spell out “Lest we forget” in a dots and dash Morse code pattern.

The plaster casts were used by sculptor Walter Allward in the design of the Canadian National Vimy Memorial in Vimy, France.

Thanks for looking.

The Belle

The Belle

The Liberty Belle
Magic Kingdom
Walt Disney World, Fla.

The Liberty Belle sets off for an adventure to destinations unknown.

Well, I guess they're not unknown since it goes in a big circle. And does it fifty times a day. Every day.

Look, you know what I meant.

Thanks for looking!

The First Emperor

The First Emperor

The Magic of Lanterns
Montreal Botanical Garden
Montreal, Quebec

I shot this last fall and Im finally getting around to processing and posting it.

Thanks for looking!

From the website -

The first in a line of some 400 Chinese emperors, Qin Shi Huangdi is one of history’s most intriguing figures. Visitors will be able to admire about 900 lanterns as they stroll through the exhibition. Among the new illuminated structures are a gate, guard towers, military and other chariots and gongs, bells and drums. Come marvel at the procession of the First Emperor and his cavalry as they triumphantly enter his capital, Xianyang!

The lanterns at the Botanical Garden are handcrafted by skilful artists here and in China. They are designed in Montréal and produced in Shanghai, with traditional methods. Then they are brought by ship to Montréal and painstakingly arranged at the Botanical Garden to create an absolutely magical spectacle.
