City Daily Photo Theme Day: Glass

 The first day of each month is a theme day for members of City Daily Photo. For October, that theme is Glass. Check out how others are interpreting this theme right here.

The Ottawa Convention Centre is downtown, on the east side of the Rideau Canal. It replaced the former Ottawa Congress Centre, and has a dramatic glass wall, four levels of promenades, and a multitude of meeting spaces within.


I was not able to get up to the third and fourth floors due to events going on inside. I walked down the long ramp to the ground floor, photographing the wall of glass.


The National Arts Centre, Parliament Hill, the Government Conference Centre, and the Chateau Laurier can all be seen through the glass.


On the outside, I took some shots of the curving wall.

My last shot, taken through another window in the NAC, looking towards the Chateau. The three-lined symbol embedded repeatedly in the glass is an NAC symbol.
