Before I show you the pictures I took at
Mosaika tonight, I want to show you some day and then night pictures of sights
we have seen around Ottawa starting with the bridge behind the boat.
Next is a picture of the Flight of eight Staircase Locks near Parliament Hill from the top.
And finally pictures of the Centennial Flame near the Parliament Buildings. The flame was first lit in 1967 to symbolize Canada's unity from sea to sea. The flame is surrounded by shields of Canada's provinces and territories and by water from a flowing fountain.
It was time to walk to Parliament Hill to
watch the light show. You know I
couldn’t sit on the grass for so long and then get up so we took our lawn
chairs to sit in. By 10:00 p.m. we
were with 2000-3000 people sitting on blankets on the grass or sitting in
chairs ready to watch the spectacle.
According to the brochure, Mosaika “explores Canada’s physical,
historical and cultural landscapes by telling the story of Canada through
music, lighting effects and imagery projected onto the Centre Block of the
Parliament Buildings”. Some of the
show was in French and even the English parts were sometimes very hard to hear
and understand. The visual effects
were sensational.
