A Ottawa store window glass boundary appears almost invisible except for the reflection of nearby office towers.

I took this picture during my last recent trip to the nation’s capital while wandering around nearby Parliament and this display caught my fancy.

I never entered the store, mainly because it was already closed when I got there, therefore I can’t describe what’s inside other than what shows in the display window. It does however, seem like an interesting shop to check out the next time I’m in town.
