Winter Lights Upon Parliament Hill

 A holiday tradition for many years now has been a projected multimedia show onto Centre Block on Parliament Hill. This is continuing regardless of the work going on inside the building for the next few years. This one is a counterpart to the summer Northern Lights show, which I really need to photograph again next year. Strictly speaking, it's more of a winter theme than a Christmas concept, as the show is more about the land, animals, and life in Canada. It runs into the first week of January, and starts each night at five thirty, going for six hours, repeating every fifteen minutes.

  5. I don't wish to be the morning curmudgeon, but it looks garish and unappealing to me.
