A Walk of Contrasts

Rainy morning on Dale Ave
I was trying to get a photo of the lightning, but I was just a bit too late. However, I think this came out nicely anyway, even without lightning bolts:
St. Ann’s Church window arches in the morning
Sunrise reflections
Be on time!
Calvary Cemetery
Winter’s last gasp?
Maybe, maybe not. Anyway, here are some images from our latest storm.

Never try, never win

Instagramming the Chocolate Tour
On Sunday afternoon, after baptizing five beautiful little babies, I ran out to do the Main Street chocolate tour! I Instagrammed my way from store to store, savoring the variety of chocolate offerings and getting heart stickers, signatures, and fancy checkmarks on my chocolate tour map. I didn’t win the gift certificate, but I had a great time!










Don’t miss the next one!
Ice art by the artistic storm Nemo
After all those awesome photos from Len, I decided to try my hand at photographing the frost on the window of our storm door yesterday, using my iPhone and an accessory macro lens.
Paris, New and Old
Here are two photos from the Rue Rivoli in Paris, from my vacation last October. First, the tower of St. James (formerly part of a church, which is long gone):
I like the close proximity and similarity of the Metro (subway) and McDonald’s signs in the photo below:
Cats!
This is Freya, resting on my mother’s lap and pretending to be a sphinx (with my father in the background).
This is Freya’s brother Frey, tying himself up into a cat knot.
The internet is all about cats, right?
Dogtown walk
I haven’t been out in Dogtown much, but I went for a walk there yesterday with a friend. He took a photo of me next to “Peter’s Pulpit”. I wanted to get on top to strike a preachy pose, but there is no easy access to perch on the peak of Peter’s pulpit.
We ended up at Whale’s Jaw:
I hope to get back to hike in Dogtown more regularly! It is a very interesting place.
Luminous French architecture
Several people have recently mentioned how much they enjoy my photos from Paris. Here are a few more!
Gothic architecture often gets a bad rap as being dark and gloomy. It can be dark and gloomy at night, but during the day it can be gloriously illuminated by the sunlight streaming through the high stained glass windows. Here are some photos I took in the church of St. Eustache in Paris last October which help illustrate that fact. It was built after the Gothic period properly speaking (as the Corinthian columns attest), but still follows the overall style.
Although the nooks and crannies can still be dark by our standards, the progress made in building technology at that point in history allowed Gothic buildings to make better use of natural light in large buildings than had been done in centuries.
