A Finale

 Curling is a sport common in many parts of the country.

The Hartland Covered Bridge is found in New Brunswick.

Inukshuks are a symbol of the Inuit and the Arctic that have made their presence known in other parts of the country.

The bush plane- an essential element in opening up the country, and still the mode of transport to remote settlements.

L'Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland and Labrador is the home of a confirmed Viking settlement from a thousand years ago.

The Mount Royal Cross is part of the cityscape of Montreal.

And powwow dancing is common in many First Nations tribes.

Emerging from the corridor, one sees this sculpture by the Haida artist Bill Reid. This is his plaster cast version of Chief Of The Undersea World.

A look down the escalators to the Grand Hall.

On the main floor, I took a photo of this totem.

And one more look at the Grand Hall. I plan on coming back at some point before summer ends- that temporary exhibit on Impressionist art in Quebec is still here.

Outside, a look across the frozen river to Ottawa, with the Chateau Laurier and Parliament Hill on the far shore.

I headed off, taking one more shot of the exhibition wing from below the curatorial wing.

And this final shot is taken from the Alexandra Bridge.
