Thank you BP judges, I'm honored and thrilled to have made finalist....you've made my day!!

This image was taken at the At the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto.
Exert from an article from a press release:
" (Toronto, December 2, 2008) One of the most rdistinctive architectural features of the Frank Gehry-designed Art Gallery of Ontario opens to the public.
The Douglas fir-clad sculptural staircase rises from the second floor of Walker Court, through the glass ceiling and extends to the fifth floor of the Vivian & David Campbell Centre for Contemporary Art." #11055731

Congratulations Sylvia! I love the curly design. Gehry is such a creative architect, and that it's all wood makes it really interesting! Beautiful capture of what looks like a beautiful place! #11055948
