One Year Later

Today is the first anniversary of the start of this blog. I thought I would mark the occasion with my first two shots. I've taken pics of the Peace Tower here on Parliament Hill from this arched entryway in the East Block before and since then, and in various seasons. It's the ideal frame.


And this door on the East Block appeals to me, both the wood of the door itself and the carving above it.
