This giant inflatable jellyfish is suspended inside a glass lantern in the Canadian Museum of Nature in Ottawa, a spectacular looking building in the Gothic Revival style. The museum completed in 1912 has undergone several renovations, the latest between 2004-2010.
The contrasting architectural styles and this extraordinary creature made for an interesting afternoon and the black and white version adds a bit more drama to the photograph.

What a cool contrast of old and new…and the jellyfish is an odd addition. Great eye, Belinda.

Made me think of War of the Worlds – a surprise drama for the shot. Nice shot!

Fabulous photos in either colour or black and white! At first glance I thought it was a Martian Fighting Machine from Mars Lol! 🙂

Some prefer the original tower, I liked it too but I equally like this adaptation.

The B&W does give the creature more presence. It is a very interesting building design, love the stone and little windows. It must have been a bit of a shock to see that glass enclosure when they first added it.

Thank you. It’s a terrific museum and the building only adds to the experience. The blending of old and new seems to work too.
