A few weeks ago, Hubby and I went to Doors Open Hamilton.
Hamilton Harbour
Love the tiled floor at Dundurn Castle! It looks like a Bonnie Hunter quilt!
I'm always charmed by these schoolgirl samplers -disappointed that anti-glare glass is not in the frame.
We spent a long while in this Serbian church. It was like taking a trip to Europe!
The frescos that covered the entire interior were painted by one man, and took him five years to complete. There are no pews in this church - the congregation stands during mass (although there are benches around the perimeter for those who may need a bit of a rest). And the burning of incense is not reserved for special occasions - spicy smoke filled the church.

ReplyDeleteHamilton, very much on the periphery of my life these days. Similar to your story, but different, is that DH has gone back to school FT and is at Mohawk College. You know the FT student and trying to have a life at the same time drill.
ReplyDeleteI hope Guelph has treated you well.
