I was glad to see the mobile identified as Calder; I thought it looked like his work. And I too thought of Darth Vader when I saw the second shot.

It would b e a place I'd love to visit some day if I ever get back to Ottawa. The chapel intrigued me a lot. Thanks for sharing your visit there. I went to the Lord Beaverbrook Art Gallery in Fredericton a few years ago and photos weren't allowed. I'm not sure if that rule is 'relaxed' now or not. It is currently closed for a few months of renovations including an extension. I guess I'd better visit it when it re-opens.Pamela Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18071092617682650349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2437925806350573745.post-59990035979457564942016-01-30T12:34:07.215-05:002016-01-30T12:34:07.215-05:00That sculpture in the top photo is called "Ja...That sculpture in the top photo is called "Jacaranda" by Alexander Calder.
