MosaiCanada150-5

            MosaiCanada150 display represented every province and territory in Canada with a living statue dedicated to the unique character of each place, this celebratory attraction comes from  Mosaïcultures Internationales de Montreal headed by Lise Cormier’s who for the past 17 years has grown this artform into an international competition that travels every 3-4 years to a new participant country.   

This display took place in 2017 to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the confederation of Canada and in less volatile days Canada’s relationship with China was closer than today, so much so that China actually gifted to Canada two of the largest displays of the event one from Shanghai depicting the dance of the “Nine Lions” and another donated by Beijing depicting  the “Blessing of the Good Omen Dragons”. 

According to legend the imperial Dragon fathered nine dragon sons whom he divided the heavens into nine kingdoms that each ruled, in ancient times it was believed that the Emperor was descended from this lineage, captured here are two imperial dragons playing with a pearl representing the sun or moon a common depiction in Chinese art.  

I took this on Aug 10, 2017 with my D750 and Nikon 16-35mm f4 Lens at 35mm 1/50 sec f/16 ISO100 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia, Topaz , and DXO
