It's been quite awhile since I've photographed in Dundonald Park, in the downtown core. These two photographs were taken on Friday. The snow is still around, of course, though the snow pack is reduced from what it was at the height of winter. Still, for the first day of spring, it didn't feel like it.
Turning around to the east, we have this view of what was once a church, now converted into apartments. As trees start sprouting leaves through spring, the view to this structure gets obscured to a photographer in the park. This time of year it's still possible to still get a shot of it. It is a building I have always liked.
That's a cool place, Wm

pretty place :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the domed building, is that the church ?
How funny that my two Canada friends post today, one has blooms and one has snow.
cheers, parsnip
An apartment here would be rather nice I think William.. Can't believe there is still snow there when it is officially spring now!
ReplyDeleteLovely place and interesting buildning.
ReplyDeleteYou have still a lot of snow.
In winter there is the possibility take photos of many places which in the summer cannot see behind the trees.
Hugs
Now it will begin to remove snow and joy to appear in the trees.
ReplyDeleteTomás..
It looks so cold still William.
ReplyDeleteSpring is trying, but I see what you mean. Be patient! Your camera lens will love it when the colors of spring do start emerging! Happy Sunday, William.

There is stiil al lot of snow to be melt. It will take some time but in a few weeks it has gone I am sure.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos ! I see grass at the base of the trees there spring will be there soon . Thanks for sharing , Have a good day !
ReplyDeletepretty neat apartment building. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the dome on that building.
ReplyDeleteNope, the calendar says spring but we got a bit of snow overnight. ;))
ReplyDeleteYou already have a lot of snow ... amazing !
ReplyDeleteHmmm. I'd like to see more shots of the apartments (the former church).
ReplyDeleteIt sure does not look like spring...yet!
ReplyDeleteChurch converter inti apartment, sounds unique. I wonder how it looks inside.
@Cloudia: it's a pleasant park in the daytime.
ReplyDelete@Jen: it is. Not overly big- wider from east to west and narrow from north to south.
@Parsnip: yes, it was originally an Orthodox church.
@Grace: spring comes slowly here.
@Orvokki: which reminds me of another place I should photograph before the trees leaf out.
@Tomas: it'll take time, this year.
@Luis: and it's colder today.
@Janis: thanks!
@Marianne: it depends on how long the warmup really takes.
@Country Gal: yes, just a fringe around the trees.
@Tex: I wouldn't mind living there.
@Sharon: they did a good job preserving elements of the old church.
@EG: yes, pay no attention to calendars.
@Anna: we have had more snow falling yesterday, and I doubt that will be the last.
@Stuart: if only I could get inside!
@Tamago: I'd like to know myself.
Interesting building. And no, your pix do NOT look like spring!
ReplyDeleteAlthough there is still snow, the weather looks quite nice and friendly.
ReplyDeleteThat church is indeed a beautiful building, that will partly get lost in the green in some time.
It must be amazing to live under a dome!
ReplyDeletePretty winter photos! :)
ReplyDeleteTrees without leaves have something positive...
ReplyDeleteLindos resquícios do rigoroso inverno mas logo as flores darão lugar à brancura da neve.
ReplyDeleteUm fraterno abraço e boa semana
You do still have a lot of snow! There are so many church conversions taking place these days - this one is a beauty.
ReplyDeleteDoes it ever stop snowing in Canada?
ReplyDelete@Cheryl: winter is still sticking around.
ReplyDelete@Jan: yes, the mature trees in this park certainly do obscure it.
@Luiz: I'd love to get in and have a look.
@Linda: thanks!
@VP: that is true.
@Gracita: thank you.
@RedPat: this one worked well.
@Norma: not really. Maybe in July.
Your snow is definitely on the way out.
ReplyDeleteI think I'd like the apartment with the dome. :-)
ReplyDeleteAre you saying that there's a flat in that dome???
ReplyDeleteJust enough snow for photography without causing any inconvenience...
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures, but that doesn't look like my idea of spring.
ReplyDeleteI can see why it didn't feel like spring...it certainly doesn't look like it, either!
ReplyDeletespring - doesn't exist around here either. so silly. one day i hope it will show up.
ReplyDeletei will be sharing that waterfall on my blog very soon. i was getting my video ready for the post ... looking ahead. thanks for checking it out. glad you like it. so pretty in person. ( :
It still looks very nice.
ReplyDeleteAs always, great pictures.
ReplyDeleteOur snow is gone but we did see some flurries on Friday. I looked away.
ReplyDeleteOur snow is down by half, but soooo cold!
ReplyDeleteHope you'll be seeing green soon!
ReplyDeleteThe first day didn't feel like it here as we got hit with snow, too.
ReplyDelete@Red: same here this year.
ReplyDelete@Revrunner: I don't know the layout of the building, if there's a loft in that dome.
@Ciel: I wouldn't mind knowing.
@Geoff: true!
@Mari: spring takes its time.
@Kay: not yet!
@Beth: thanks!
@Randy: I like that park.
@Shelly: thank you.
