Biosphere Infrared, Montreal

I took this one yesterday with my DIY VIS+IR modified 6MP Nikon D50, Nikon 10-24mm lens and a Hoya 25A filter. Initially processed from NEF (raw) using Nikon Capture NX-D and then channel swapped in Photoshop.

 

This was one of the most popular buildings of Expo 67, The World's Fair in Montreal, Quebec, during Canada's centennial birthday. The structure itself is about 200 feet high and was the USA pavillion. It contained six levels of exhibits and a Minirail passed through it. Checkout the very cool newsreel footage showing what this building originally looked like:

The pavilion has since been converted into the Biosphere Environment Museum.
