Canada Vacation = Basilica Notre Dam


One of the many fabulous churches in Montreal
The Basilica du Notre Dam.
PLEASE VIEW THESE IMAGES IN
THE LARGEST FORMAT POSSIBLE.

The Basilica is very large and very very dark.
Fotography becomes most difficult.
The interior is kept in Blue and Gold


These images were taken with a Din-setting of 3,200.
S. 40 & F3.5

The Main Altar is most impressive
as is the entire Basilica

Canada Vacation - Lunch with Jochimson-Vogdt


Klaus and Ursula Jochimsen-Vogdt invited us
to a scrumptious lunch. It is difficult to imagine
more hospitable friends.


"Lunch for 4"
The table is laden with deliscious food,
enough for 8.


This must be photographed.


Besides this table, fit for Kings, there is the best of Wines.

Canada Vacation - Stratford on Avon, Ontario, Canada


The "Festival Theatre" in Stratford on Avon, Ontario Canada.
A Shakespeare play : As You Like It
the next day: Cole Porter's "Kiss Me Kate"
Two performances of absolute top drawer quality.


Stratford on Avon, Ontario, is a quaint, pretty little town.
The Avon is a bright, wide river, meandering through the town,
giving a home to ducks and swans en masse.


Christin's first "Hot Dog"
Hey, what do you know? She liked it!


On the way to Toronto, via Alora, we visit
and have breakfast at the "Old Mill", beside which the Grand River
thunders through a narrow Chasm.

At Port Dover on the shores of Lake Erie.
The water is just right.

in which she dipped her toes, or swam to her hearts content.
Lakes Huron, Ontario and now Erie.

Guided, it seems, by a rainbow
the Maid of the Mist closes in on the Falls.
