Part of the "Glass Under Glass" show that officially opens today at the RBG. We were there yesterday so it was not all up and the names of the artists were not all available. I'll put up the name after my next visit later this week.

A sculptural piece by Bryce Kanbara presently at the "you me gallery" in Hamilton, Ontario. Bryce has a variety of other cutouts on his walls making an interesting exhibit with great shadows too!
You know it's cold when there is both ice and snow on bird wings. Actually it's feeling warmer with the wind chill only - 20˚ c this morning.
This is another photo from 1978 when I went to a camp north of Thunder Bay, Ontario for a course in winter survival. We slept out in snow shelters called quinzhees which were made by piling up loose snow, letting it settle, and then hollowing it out to make an igloo shaped structure in a place where igloos could not be made. (One needs solid wind swept snow to cut blocks for making an igloo.) Temperatures inside the snow shelter were just above the freezing mark while temperatures outside dropped to - 30 C. The hard part was getting up in the morning and going out to start fires for breakfast.
Photos on the way to becoming a calendar. Hope they make it before January ends.
