We went to the National Gallery today, and spent about five hours wandering the various galleries.

Vase with Zinnias and Geraniums, by Vincent van Gogh 
Hope I, by Gustav Klimt 
Stacked Porcelain Vases as a Pillar, by Ai Weiwei 
Detail from Stacked Porcelain Vases as a Pillar, by Ai Weiwei 
A Meeting of the School Trustees, by Robert Harris 
North Shore, Lake Superior, by Lawren S. Harris 
Kathleen poses with Voice of Fire, by Barnett Newman 
Sappers at Work, by David Bomberg 
Still Life with Crabs, by Joris van Son
And then, since the doors were open, we went into the Notre Dame Basilica across the street. (You can see its silver spires in the photo at the top of this post, along with Maman, who stands guard in front of the National Gallery.)
(You can tell Ottawa’s a government town: someone painted the trees.)
