Canadian Images

Here we have another view of St. Onuphrius from above as we start departing the Museum's Canada Hall. 


Along with more of the large scale photographs of scenes across Canada.


The ramp leads down to the central hub, with another view of Canada in map form on the floor below.


The corridor leading out features more of the scenes of Canada that I showed coming in, a combination of mirrored surface and white overlay to show a scene. This is the Carleton Martello Tower in New Brunswick.


And this is Cape Spear in Newfoundland and Labrador, the easternmost point in North America, excluding Greenland. I conclude this visit to the Museum of History tomorrow.

  4. We indeed live in a vast and varied country. How Alex Trebek could ever have left it is beyond me, and taken out the citizenship of the armed republic to the south. People claim to be mourning the death of a Canadian but that sounds strange to me. That would be like having mourned JohnTurner as a great Englishman since he was born there.

  8. Like old farms, they are ubiquitous.
    The old churches: you wondered how many people needed!

  11. Canada is such a large country, it isn't easy to grasp how expansive Canada is.

  16. @Tom: quite diverse.

    @Francisco: thank you.

    @DJan: it's been awhile since I've done cross country skiing.

    @Jennifer: thank you!

    @RedPat: a pleasure doing so.

    @Red: oh, no doubt.

    @Maywyn: I do think that the sheer size of the country is one of the things that defines us as Canadians.

    @Shammickite: I hope to see it for myself someday. Newfoundland and Labrador is one place I've never been to.

    @Bill: I think so!

    @Jenn: thank you!

    @Marleen: quite so.

    @Joanne: thanks!

    @Happyone: and I enjoyed showing them.

    1. I'd love to see that area someday. I've never been in Kelowna. The only drawback is that it's close to the residence of a former relative I never want to speak to again.
