If you're wondering...

I've been hella busy at work lately, and it's showing not a lot of signs of easing up in the next couple of weeks. LJ posting and commenting has thus taken a back seat to RF troubleshooting, lab equipment organizing and purchasing, product integration, standards test planning, digital architecture, et cetera, et cetera.

It's March. March always feels like this, I think. Well, except for the minus 40 windchills, that's more January. But March is hard: things get busy, but there isn't even a promise of summer yet. At least Mercury will go direct tonight: I don't know how much recent weirdness it's been responsible for in my life, but something's sure been making communication more difficult.

Whups, wrong building, you're in the NAG, not NAC! *teleports* I'm with you now.

I'll have to go see it sometime.

Ooops. My mistake. Yeah. NAG. Were you thinking about the little gallery by Chateau Laurier?

Nope, I was thinking of a hallway in the NAC in which art exhibits are sometimes displayed.

The one beside the Ottawa Court Chateau Laurier is the National Museum of Contemporary Photography, I think.

Ottawa Court *laugh*

There are so many galleries in Ottawa. I've been going to the ones I find but I haven't found them all or gone to them all yet. The Portrait gallery is on my vacation list.

You are correct, the photography museum is next to the Chateau Laurier. According to my cousin (who works at the NAGallery) it is currently closed and some of the exhibits are taking up space at the gallery.

It used to be the railway station where they would load cargo from the canal onto rail cars.

Cool; I've never been to the NMCP, and I didn't know the building was that old.

Wow... Ottawa was a sho'nuf port at one point!
