September 27th 2006: Musee des Beaux-Arts de Montreal (Montreal Museum of Fine Arts) and the Botanical Garden

The movie is a full 360-degree panorama of The Magic of Lanterns display at the Chinese Garden. It provides a more complete feel of what the display was like than the still pictures, though the static photographs certainly have higher clarity due to long exposures.

There are movies associated with this collection.

There were many lit roosters throughout the Chinese Garden.  This
picture doesn't represent them well because I took the photograph with a
flash and so one can't see the roosters' glow.  I didn't originally
realize how many roosters were in the garden. I really wish I took
pictures of them all -- it'd make an impressive collection.
A large, glowing, floating swan.
The swan from a different angle, along with the outline of a nice
building in the background.
A glowing carnival.

Excellent.  Birds and watermelons?!

Au Petit Extra
Au Petit Extra's dining room runs most of the length of the building,
perhaps extending the portion with windows and wooden Venetian blinds.
 Artificially brightened.
The somewhat formal decor of Au Petit Extra.  The one page menu, 
printed that morning, was also duplicated on the chalkboard at 
left.
