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.
Taken from across the Canal inside the National Arts Centre.
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.
I love the dome like look.

Thank you.
DeleteThat is alot of glass, it probably looks great from the outside, wonder how long it takes to clean each pane?
ReplyDeleteFrom the outside, they'd use a genie lift. No idea how they'd do it inside.
DeleteGreat examples for the theme.
