Tis The Season

This large but simple wreath can be found at the Lord Lansdowne retirement home, beside Abbotsford House and across from Lansdowne Park in the Glebe.


There's an office building downtown with a lovely atrium featuring a waterfall fountain. They've placed a Christmas tree on the overhanging terrace.


Here's the view from directly across.


On a very cold night at Carleton University, I stepped out of the very warm tunnel network to take a picture of this lit tree. My fingers were very unimpressed with me afterwards.


This tree is a bit more slender than I'd have thought suitable for a Christmas tree. It's inside the National Arts Centre lobby.


And over at the Government Conference Centre, this view of the front of the building features a large wreath over the main entrance.

Zooming in with the mobile gives us more of a view.

  1. Ah, what would we do without Christmas decorations? They help make the short days more pleasant.

    @Inna: thanks!

    @Ciel: I suppose the rarity there is a long term thing.

    @RedPat: yes, and if we can only see to it that the politicians get coal in their stockings....
