As I mentioned in yesterday's post, there is a light show held each year, from early December to early January, projected onto Centre Block on Parliament Hill. In recent years it has been an elaborate winter themed multimedia show of light and music that goes for about thirteen minutes, replaying throughout the evening. A bear, a fox (or wolf?) and a snowman are among the elements that are projected onto the stone of the heart of Parliament Hill. Today I have the beginning, with more of this tomorrow.
Beautiful! I would want to stay and watch the illumination. Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteLovely post! I always enjoy your night shots.
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely, festive lights.
ReplyDeleteThis is truly awesome. A "shame" what we have over here...
ReplyDeleteThese may just be the brightest lights on Parliament Hill. Most of the politicians don’t provide much illumination.
ReplyDeleteOh that is magical to see the changing colours.
ReplyDeleteLooks lovely, beautiful colors and light display! Enjoy your day and weekend. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fab display. I hadn't realized there were so many variations.
ReplyDeleteoh love it ... the snow person or the dog?? what fun!! creative! ( ;
ReplyDelete...what a fabulous light show, I wish that we had this here.
ReplyDeleteThat is an incredible light show. I look forward to seeing more. Wow! :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is spectacular. I've always wanted to see one of these. The one in Sydney, Australia is in June. I could retire, start in Ottawa in December and go round the world chasing light shows. Hmmmmmmm.

That is beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. It must be kind of magical when you see and hear it in reality.
ReplyDeleteNow that would be beautiful to see in person!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely light show. I've seen a couple of videos of some, and they are thrilling to see. Being there in person must be amazing.
ReplyDelete@Nancy: I've been several times. I may go again this evening.
ReplyDelete@Linda: and I enjoy taking them.
@Lady Fi: that they are.
@Iris: Sydney in Australia also does this.
@David: hah!
@Marianne: it is.
@Eileen: thank you!
@Anvilcloud: it's quite a show. It's a nice variant to the summer show. I'm hoping both return, even with the work going on here over the next few years.
@Beth: it is quite creative.
@Tom: you'd have enjoyed it.
@DJan: it is quite something to see in person.
@Janis: I've seen the Sydney one in Jim's blog- it's possible that they do it twice a year as they do here, as the more recent shots of his have a religious sort of feel.
@Catarina: it really is.
@Jan: I have a video of it in tomorrow's post.
@Jeanie: I certainly feel that way seeing it.
@Barbara: it is!
This would be fantastic to watch.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic light show. It must have been wonderful to see it live.
ReplyDeleteWow that is a spectacular show!
ReplyDeleteI think I've said this before but I wish they would do a show like this here. It's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a show !
ReplyDeleteThose are wonderful!
ReplyDelete@Red: you'll get a chance in tomorrow's post- I'd better check to make sure the video link is there!
ReplyDelete@Bill: it is.
@Marleen: indeed.
@Sharon: I enjoy seeing it.
@Karl: indeed!
@Catalyst: thanks!
