Winter landscape pictures from Experimental farm, Ottawa (1)

Taking pictures is one of my hobbies and last weekend  I went to one of my favorite place in Ottawa, the Experimental Farm with my friend Carmen to take some winter landscaping pictures.

It seemed like diamonds were falling from the sky!

There is so much splendor in nature! It always take my breath away... 
The other day while driving I witnessed a magnificent winter scenery: at one particular moment I saw a tree line on the side of the road. The trees had coats of ice on them that sun was reflecting and the only thing I could see was the light sparkling all over the place. It seemed like diamonds were falling from the sky! It was truly amazing! I was expecting my drive to be torturous and very long but instead it became something special. All I wanted was to stay there and experience all the beauty nature had to offer at that very moment. I did not want it to end!

US Embassy in Ottawa

It's always nice to remember that the USA is my country, too. When I am in front of its Embassy I feel the belonging and the longing to go back.

And would you dare to play with a giant spider?

Sculptures usually are meant for observing and appreciating and never to touch. But this is an exception to the rules. Here, these two little cute wedding guests after a tiresome speech in the Cathedral ran out to attack the giant spider and play with it. It's good to see that to them it's not just a sculpture, but rather a character or living thing.

These pictures were taken at the National Art Gallery, Ottawa. It's a sculpture by Louise Bourgeois. She  was a renowned French-American artist and sculptor, best known for her contributions to both modern and contemporary art, and for her spider structures, titled Maman, which resulted in her being nicknamed the Spiderwoman. She is recognized today as the founder of confessional art. You can read more here or watch this video below:
