Centennial Flame - Ottawa Photo

Photographer’s Note

A close-up picture of the Centennial Flame in Ottawa. The flame is situated in the middle of a fountain in the center block of Canada's Parliament. The flame was lit in 1967 to commemorate 100 years since the confederation of Canada. It is a centerpiece fountain that attracts many visitors and is the focal point of many pictures.

Very nice,

I like the contrast between the moving flames and the letters frozen in time.

Quite surprised you managed to get passed the contrast issues of the flames and the lettering.

I'll need to take a look at the flame without close up to see the difference.

As I'm not from North America the centennial flame is unknown to me. Would have appreciated some more explicit comments.

Still it's a very nice contribution.
Cheers
