Morning Star

A reminder to members of City Daily Photo- the theme for the 1st of February is Double.

Continuing where I left off, here is more of that marvelous sculpture by Bill Reid.

A look out the windows. The Ottawa shoreline was ghostly in the snow.

And up at the ceiling, with my favourite work of art in the national capital region. Morning Star is a large abstract mural by the Dene artist Alex Janvier, painted in 1993, evoking his own aboriginal heritage. I don't usually go for abstract art, but I love his style, and particularly this painting.

One can even use the staircases and escalators to frame the painting in unusual ways.

Heading up, another look out the windows. Parliament Hill was vanishing in the snow.

We'll pick up here tomorrow.
