CANADIAN CHURCHES CAN BE INTERESTING TOO

On a recent trip to Cambridge Ontario for one of our food jaunts to the Farmer's Market there, I took some time to photograph several churches. The Presbyterian church was quite interesting.

I had to cross the bridge across the Grand River to get a view from the front of the church.

Built in 1880, the church had some interesting detail.

The doorway has intricate detail.

The church window made another impression on me.

The front and side of the church from the street give another view. The masonary work is beautiful. Who were the men that helped to erect such a magnificient church in this small community? Perhaps a little history needs to be explored!

A POSTCARD FROM RICHMOND HILL ONTARIO CANADA

Every hometown has its local pieces of history and interest. I found these postcards by a local artist- A. Vermeulen done several years ago.

Top left-the Presbyterian Church on Yonge Street. Top right- the United Church on Yonge Street. Both built in the 1800s. And the Mill Pond- a popular spot for Canada Geese, ducks and a few people.
In the summer there are concerts in the park and the winter skating on the ice with a Winter Carnival in Feburary.
How does the drawing compare to a real photograph!

I've called Richmond Hill my home for most of my life. The little town north of Toronto! Actually its population now is equal to other cities in Canada. The bus, the Go train or the highway can take you south to Toronto or north to cottage country! It may not be the best place to live in the world, but it is not bad! Of course my very favourite building continues to be the Central Library. 

Especially in the Spring time. What do you have to say about your hometown? Home is where the heart is and in my case- my family!!
