Architecture Corner

This is one of a couple shots I took of the ROM crystal. The, uh, party that they threw to open it was a really terrible bolting together of random elements of CanCon. Here's some opera! Here's Sean Cullen! Here's some R&B singer! Here's the Governor General! It's almost ironic because the crystal succeeds because they kept one architect's vision, but the event appears to be designed by committee.

It doesn't matter though, I like the crystal, I think it succeeds as a work of art as well as saying something about we approach the sort of stuff that you find in a museum.
