One of the interior spaces in the National Gallery has this pool of water, set atop glass panels. It's a completely different mood in the evening. It can be viewed here on the main level, or from the balconies above on the second level. The last shot is one I've featured here before, from last July, taken from beneath the pool looking up.
To me this speaks a very Canadian message: Here we appreciate nature while delighting in technical achievement that enhances that appreciation. Or something.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love that last shot!
ReplyDeleteYes, I like the last shot too!

@Lauren: the pool is a work of art in and of itself.

ReplyDeleteI love that last photo especially!
ReplyDeleteThat is cool and lots of coins have been thrown in the pool.
ReplyDelete@Janis: one could!
ReplyDelete@Lowell: I've always liked this space. It's art in a different way, I think.
@Norma: oh yes!
@VP: they had a good idea when they added this in to the design.
@Jan: it's possible- that last shot was a Canada Day photo.
@Sharon: thank you!
@Linda: thanks!
@Red: I wonder how often they collect it. I imagine the glass has to be strong enough to stand on.
Nothing is as calming as a water feature, looks amazing from below William.
