More panels about life in aquatic environments can be found.
Of course water isn't just here on Earth, it's out there. Panels examine this.
One last wide view of the gallery, with the blue whale skeleton.
I emerged from the gallery and back into the central atrium, onward to the next gallery. We'll pick up there tomorrow.
Today is the 75th anniversary of VE-Day. This photograph was taken a couple of days ago at the National War Memorial downtown. Given the current restrictions, there won't be a formal ceremony here today. The reason for the photographs at the base of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier: a few days ago six members of the Canadian military were killed in a helicopter accident while on training exercises in Greece.
Impressive monument.
ReplyDeleteWow, I go with Jim!
ReplyDeleteLovely to see glimpses of the central atrium William, not only fascinating exhibition but fabulous architecture also 💙 Always enjoy seeing the National War Memorial, such a beautifully sculpted piece, sad to see it so quiet at this memorable time ✨
ReplyDelete...I find it interesting that we are still making discoveries about the oceans!
ReplyDeleteThat's funny, living in a dome. It's about where we are.
ReplyDelete@Jim: very much so.
ReplyDelete@Iris: it is something to behold.
@Grace: hopefully VJ Day can be better.
@Tom: I agree.
@Jennifer: thanks.
Hello, I would love to visit this museum. The memorial is beautiful. Happy Friday, enjoy your day and weekend!
ReplyDeleteIt's sad about the training helicopter accident.
ReplyDeleteLovely memorial. Have a nice weekend.
The blue whale skeleton is amazing. Do you know how long they live? They grow so huge. There is a whale near Greenland that they say lives 400 years.
ReplyDeleteMy condolences, William, on the tragedy in Greece and the loss of the Canadian soldiers.
A memorable time.
ReplyDeleteThat must be an interesting exhibition!
ReplyDeleteMilitary personnel who die in the "line of duty" are all dedicated to trying to protect us...no matter where/how they die.
ReplyDeleteI hope they have some riparian areas shown nd explained.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for the loss of Military ~ it is very trying times we are living ~
ReplyDeleteBe Well,

ReplyDeleteThat is a very impressive memorial.

ReplyDeleteSending good thoughts to you William. We are living in precarious, difficult times. Wishing you health and wellness. xo

There are sea creatures that wouldn't be creepy if they were flowers.
ReplyDeleteThere are few observers in the gallery.
ReplyDeleteI learned today that VE Day didn't stop hostilities in Europe. They continued in many forms (civil war, ethnic cleansing, reprisals, communist resistance) for years.
ReplyDeleteCondolences for the loss of your countrymen. You guys are leaders of North America now.
ReplyDelete@Eileen: thank you.
ReplyDelete@Sami: it happens.
@Sandi: there's so much we don't know.
@RedPat: I agree.
@Marleen: definitely.
