Weekly Photo Challenge: Illumination
Yesterday’s temperature was incredibly warm for mid-January. I believe it was plus 4, and fairly dry, it was cloudy for the most part, but dry… It was the perfect night to go see the new attraction at the Quartier des Spectacles in Montreal called Iceberg, a series of illuminated metal coves that tells a story of an iceberg, from its formation to its dissolution. Visitors are invited to walk through the coves and listen to the sound that is produced in the crevices. As the rhythm changes, so does the colors that illuminate the iceberg. This spectacle is open to public, and is a free activity which will continue to run until February 3rd. If you ever find yourself in Montreal, be sure to stop by and see the spectacle.

Thanks Robyn!
way cool Gracie!
Thanks Tina!
Interesting captures. I like your widget that shows the photo’s metadata. Where did you find it?
Thanks, Maurizio. Did you mean the metadata on each photo that I post? Those are actually done manually when I post the photo
Great captures of illumination, Gracie. And neat installation to know about.
Thank you, Sherry! I thought they were perfect for the challenge
Wonderful!
Thanks!
This a very unusual but visually exiting exhibit. Your photographs are wonderful!
Thank you, Elisa
How fascinating. I am intrigued by their use in translation of the word “cove” as I would have called them arches or caves… On our last visit to Montreal we stayed in a hotel in the Quartier des Spectacles. Such an interesting place.
I would have used “arches” as well. But, I am using “cove” on my post since that was what they used to describe them
That area is bustling with excitement especially at night and during festival season
Excellent shots!!!
Thanks Rexlin!
Awesome! I love the concept.
Me too! It was a really cool installation.
These are outstanding Gracie!
Thank you, Phil
Public art is a true gift to residents and visitors. Thank you for bringing this work to my attention. I particularly like the top right image, which takes me inside one of the metal coves. Nicely done.
Thank you, Sally.
Liked it

I wish I had plans to come to Montreal I’d love to see this. Terrific shots Gracie.
Oh I wish you would see it too, Edith. It’s definitely worth a visit.
