The Greenhouse

Today I start pretty much where I left off yesterday, with the approach from the west to the sunken garden area.


I took one more shot of the Dairy Barn, and then started along the road going north from here.


Along this road are a number of greenhouses, and one of them is open to the public to come in. It contains a number of tropical plants and cacti.


My last shot of the visit is near the north side of the Experimental Farm, where this particular building is situated. It is an observatory.

  13. The observatory is a well known location. Why an observatory on a farm?

  15. @DJan: you're welcome.

    @Noke: thank you!

    @Marie: I've enjoyed showing it.

    @Sharon: yes, it's quite a collection.

    @Beth: I was in there back during my visit on the Easter weekend. It was exceptionally warm compared to the outside, but this time the temperature outside was pretty much the same as inside.

    @Jan: it's quite a structure.

    @RedPat: most definitely.

    @Red: the Dominion Observatory as it's known was built more than a century ago as part of the scientific research of the time. According to what I've found online, the telescope that was there is now at another location in the city, but the building itself is still used in a scientific capacity.

    @Jeanie: so do I.

    1. Now I'm wondering if this is the place that gives up the official dominion time signal?

  26. That dairy barn is something to behold. And the greenhouse is lovely. I wouldn't have expected to see an observatory in this setting. But it's cool, too. I think I like everything about this place.
