The Past



The past is a foreign country: they do things differently there.

Kingston, Ontario


If memory is correct this river is the St.Lawrence and I do know that this is Kingston Ontario.

We spent a few hours here on our Canada holiday some years ago now - a coach trip - early morning calls and hundreds of miles travelled virtually each day but it was worth it.  We remember Canada with great affection.

PhotoHunt - Wide

Today PhotoHunt is wide - so that means wide open spaces ...

If you're looking for something wide and open then you can not get anything wider than the Niagara Falls ( well  actually you can in South America  ! but we'll forget them )


If you go to Canada or the USA  it is a place you must try to visit and a helicopter ride around the Falls is a great experience but not for the faint hearted !

ABC Wednesday - M for Montréal



M is for Montréal which we visited in 2003 for a very wet and windy 2 hours while we waited for our coach to take us to the railway station for an overnight train journey to Halifax.

The 2 hours just allowed a little time to visit the Basilique Notre-Dame-de-Montréal and basically shelter from the rain ..


It's very beautiful inside and I managed to capture these images 



It was very dark inside from what I can remember so I was quite lucky to get these photographs.

Penguins - move your cursor and take them for a walk !!

Shoot for the moon, even if you miss, you'll land amongst the stars.

Look around !!!

What is this life, full of care,

We have no time to stand and stare?
