This is definitely the opposite direction to the usual tourist shots. Looks good.
Posted by Aaron at August 4, 2005 01:28 AMI love this shot! Just the silver metallic of the new compared to the green and brown earthy tones of the old. Well done.
Posted by Ed at August 4, 2005 02:22 AMwow. i havent commented on your work in a while. i like this one because of all the silver in it and it goes great with the green oxodized copper (roofs? rooves?) and the brick?... well the colors of the parliament buildings and tone of them really go good together with the silver. the reflection is also impressivly clear. props to you!

Posted by Rahul at August 4, 2005 04:20 AMnice shot, before 10 years ago, i always thaught that 'toronto' is the capital of canada! it was a missing!
Posted by hossein daraei at August 4, 2005 04:45 AMI like.
Posted by shirin at August 4, 2005 05:21 AMWhat a great perspective you have captured here ... Awesome shot!
Posted by Möbius at August 4, 2005 06:06 AMWow! This is a great capture. The clarity of the reflection is stunning
Posted by Shrini at August 4, 2005 06:17 AMThis is absolute phantastic. A real artwork.
Posted by Martin at August 4, 2005 06:23 AMSuperb shot
Canada's past reflected in the present,
stitched into the fabric of our future...
imposing, inflexible & outdated
democracy might just [justly] reside in the lens, and in artists around our world.
A photo's freedom to speak it's thousand words without uttering a single incriminating sound, is one remaining true & powerful expression.
A free and empowered artist, photographer & individual frees and empowers everyone. non?
Posted by * at August 4, 2005 07:26 AMNice shot. Great reflection, and a nice trick at the left of the shot; you caught the edge of the mirrors, and a good DoF gave the background building some sense of depth. That also tells the eye that the crisp reflection is closer than the background. Cool. Good eye, man . . .
I live in the capital and find lots to catch the eye. I took a shot from the locks of the Rideau canal behind the parliament buildings, and included the link. The reflection caught my eye. And another at Grand Teton.
Posted by Trevor at August 4, 2005 08:12 AMI like this distortion of images you achieve by shooting objects reflected on glass-panelled surfaces. It makes the photograph look so much like an impressionist painting, very pleasing to the eye; and it also serves to remind me that different people looking at the same object don't necessarily see exactly the same thing.
Posted by Susie at August 4, 2005 08:32 AMI’m bewildered at your ability to show a new perspective to places I’ve seen a thousand times before. Great creative photo.
Posted by Dan at August 4, 2005 08:41 AMis it the parliament??
really quebecY looking...
Gorgeous old/new shot. Beautiful colors of both.
Posted by jamie at August 4, 2005 10:53 AMawesome capture. dead on!
Posted by Molly at August 4, 2005 11:07 AMHey, it is not "daily dose of imagery"; it's "daily dose of WOW"!
Nice job Sam :)
Great reflection picture. It is funny to see Ottawa on your blog, I was just there this past weekend, and my shot today is just east of where this shot was taken (here http://www.seemsartless.com/map/map-ott.php?pic=399 ) I'll be curious to see if you have more Ottawa pictures in the next few days.
Posted by Daivd S at August 4, 2005 12:15 PMHello,
I just wanted to tell you I downloaded the Daily Dose of Imagery Widget and have found your images intriguing, and inspiring.
Thank you for sharing.

Posted by Kelly Mathson at August 4, 2005 01:06 PMThis is an amazing shot!
Posted by Agnes at August 4, 2005 01:57 PMGorgeous shot. I am a newcomer to your blog, catching up with your photos.
Posted by O b e l i x at August 4, 2005 02:40 PMI haven't posted in a while, but I am always watching. I love this shot, Sam!
Posted by Leslie Turner at August 4, 2005 03:31 PMYou seem to have a great interest in watching reflections. I like the way you take these shots just from the right location.
Are you standing on the ground or in the other building?
It seems there are just too many glass exteriors in Canada!
u r great as always !!
Posted by mina at August 4, 2005 04:51 PMHehe, great minds think alike:

I took this one 2 years ago...
Posted by Duncan Campbell at August 4, 2005 05:56 PMa cliché, but a well done one
Posted by kikko77 at August 4, 2005 06:01 PMI've never left a comment before, but I check this page almost every day, and I am never disappointed. You continually amaze me with the way that you capture the pulse of whatever building or road or sky that you photograph. Todays's picture was particularly riveting. Thank you...
Posted by Jennifer at August 4, 2005 07:59 PMI really appreciate your posting of these photos -- definitely a boost -- a thought provoking book mark.

Posted by tee at August 4, 2005 09:27 PMCool as usual. Will look for the building next time I walk by the Parliament.
Posted by John Burridge at August 4, 2005 10:00 PMoh i love this shot..... which building is the parliament reflecting on?
i have the similar idea in this shot in montreal

Really nice shot - beautiful reflection and a clean, crisp feel.
Posted by Abe at August 5, 2005 03:15 AMVery nice contrast between the two buildings. I love the texture of the glassy new building and the colors of the traditional manor type building.
Posted by Alicia at August 5, 2005 08:28 AMThis shot is like the beatiful statues thet when you sheyk them the snow falls it's wonderful
Posted by maryam at August 6, 2005 01:57 PMGreat stuff! I've enjoyed many of your "reflection" pics and this is no less exciting.
Posted by Darren at August 8, 2005 08:11 AMHey great photo as always, this really shows ur creativity. Im from ottawa by the way and pass by these building almost everyday! great job.
Posted by Ehsan at August 15, 2005 04:47 AMClassical one, but that's very clean and well done :)
