With Glowing Hearts

Two more shots from the Valour theme of Northern Lights; in the first case, the Afghan conflict of recent years is projected onto Centre Block. In the second case, the National War Memorial is featured.


The final theme is Pride, with statements about the nation included with the narration in French and English from a wealth of different people.


The conclusion of the event includes the Canadian anthem- check out a video of the finale here.

  17. Passed the Canadian embassy again today. Noticed there is an exhibit featuring a Canadian photographer. Didn't catch the name. Anyway, I didn't go in. These days you never know if the U.S. will let you back in. :-)
