Downtown gets decorated for Christmas as well around the landmarks. I went out to photograph them. These two are at City Hall.
A totem pole is found here.
At the west end of the park is the National Aboriginal Veterans Monument. It includes four warriors and five animals- the eagle, bear, bison, elk, and wolf, filled with symbols for indigenous peoples.
I continued along, heading past the National Arts Centre.
There is something special with a Winter promenade in the dark.
ReplyDeleteI agree.
DeleteBrrr it is cold here, but no snow
ReplyDeleteWe have snow.
DeleteLove the sculpture and the beautiful lights at night.
ReplyDeleteTake care and enjoy these last days of 2024.
I wish you all the best in 2025, Happy New Year!
Thank you.
DeleteAbsolutely gorgeous captures!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteIt sounds like downtown looks magical with all the festive decorations, especially around City Hall and Confederation Park. I love the idea of lighting the trees' trunks and branches—it must create such a unique, warm glow. The totem pole adds a special touch, too! I just shared a new blog post. I invite you to visit.
ReplyDeleteIt does.
Delete...Ottawa is always a fabulous place, but they pull out all of the stops for Chrsitmas.
ReplyDeleteIndeed.
DeleteLove the Aboriginal Veterans sculpture! I agree that the tree limbs look lovely enough, without the twinkle lights. But they can make a place really become daylight if there are lots of trees together.
ReplyDeleteIt is so nice to see all the lights on these grey days, William.
ReplyDeleteCool decorations.
ReplyDeleteI really like all the different coloured lights.
ReplyDeleteLovely lights at this dark time of year. I like the statue with the Eagle, people, Bear, and Wolf.
ReplyDeleteWonderful to see al the lights in the snowy city.
ReplyDeleteOverhere we had a very gray and misty Christmas.
Oh such beautiful Christmas night photos ~ Wow!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year ~ ^_^
Wishing you good health, laughter and love in your days,
