I really enjoyed the train ride from Montreal to Ottawa this afternoon. I'm so glad I made it a point to travel by rail.
By the way, I visited the Museum of Fine Arts in Montreal yesterday, and it was most enjoyable. Photography was allowed in certain parts of the museum, and I was fortunate it was allowed in the Decorative Arts section, which was actually my favorite part of the Museum.
Here are a few photos of some of the things I saw in the Decorative Arts section of the Museum:
This piece is by Dale Chihuly. It caught my attention before I realised who made it. It brought back memories for me - I saw some of Chihuly's works in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, four years ago, and I recall I was fascinated by them, but had forgotten all about that until yesterday.
This is a lovely stained-glass window, isn't it? I bet it was painstaking work to create something like this.
An old chair with a most unusual design.
The designers of these pieces of furniture had imaginative minds indeed. I take my hat off to them.
