Brass

David Elliott

This brass water fountain at the Canadian Museum of Civilization in Hull, Quebec caught my eye as an example of remarkably stylish industrial design. My flash was on auto and when it fired all these hidden shimmering ripples appeared that hadn't been apparent with the ambient light.

This museum is a tour-de-force for Canadian architect Douglas Cardinal and even details like this water fountain have been done with exquisite care.

There is a companion photo of a different fountain in the same museum.
