To those who have been wondering, yes, I've taken tulip photographs of what has been a very unusual Tulip Festival this year. They will be turning up in June and no doubt stretching into July or even beyond, though the formal event itself was already over on Victoria Day. But for a few days, I'm showing other material.
I have some churches for you today, taken at various points in the last couple of months. This is Annunciation Of The Blessed Virgin Mary Catholic Church, out in Hintonburg, on the last day of March.
A few blocks away, dominating the neighbourhood, is the Catholic Paroisse Saint Francois d'Assise.
Taken on the following day in Sandy Hill, this is the historic St. Alban Anglican Church. It was attended regularly by our first prime minister, John A. Macdonald.
A couple of blocks away is St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church.
A short walk away is St Paul's-Eastern United Church.
A couple of weeks later I passed by this church in Lowertown, the French language Eglise Evangelique Baptiste d'Ottawa.
So varied and lovely!
ReplyDeleteI guess like here all of those lovely churches are currently empty. We can now open to up to 50 people but our church is too small to accomodate even our tiny congregation when social distancing rules are applied and the cleaning regime to too onerous to contemplate so it is TV church for a while longer for us.
ReplyDeleteNice to see such variety!
ReplyDeleteChurches make interesting photo subjects especially for the varied architectural styles. I am sure the interiors would be quite interesting with varying styles
ReplyDeleteBeautiful selection, William !
ReplyDeleteThe first one is very different form the others...
@Lady Fi: they are.
ReplyDelete@Joan: i think all churches here are closed.
@Linda: thank you.
@Beatrice: I've been in three: St. Alban, St. Paul, and St paul- eastern.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteNice series of pretty churches. Enjoy your day, have a great new week ahead!
Beautiful series of churches, each one with its own distinctive style.
ReplyDelete...William, you certainly had a gorgeous day to enjoy these beautiful churches.
ReplyDeleteThat's quite a collection of churches in a variety of architectures.
ReplyDeleteAll very different in architectural style William, the first is so different from most Catholic churches I've seen ✨
ReplyDeleteVery nice selection of Churches you showed us William
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful churches, William. Thanks for sharing. Be safe. Jo
ReplyDeleteYou have many historic churches that are being well kept. We have very few of the large older churches.
ReplyDeleteSome very traditional looking Churches but the Annunciation Of The Blessed Virgin Mary Catholic Church certainly is different. Thanks
ReplyDeleteMB
Nice series! You've taken us to church!
ReplyDeleteNice series of churches. I like the Anglican one.
ReplyDeleteThe churches are still empty on this Sunday. One wonders when they will be able to open.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo series of the stone churches ~

@Bill: thanks!
@Jo: you're welcome.
@Red: there are quite a lot.
@MB: you're welcome.

Relics they seem!
