Out Of Control – Revisited
Back in the early days of this blog I did a post about an art exhibit at the Atomium in Brussels. I had been quite impressed and thought others would be too. Yesterday I was looking at the pictures and thinking that perhaps I should share that post again since most of the people who […]
St. Michael
This sculpture is on display in a park in Liesborn, Germany (if I remember the town name correctly). It caught my eye when I visited in 2014. I took a few pictures, then forgot to share them. I had never heard of Bernhard Kleinhans before, which isn’t that surprising – I’m not exactly a sculpture […]
Presto!
I broke the law and have no regrets. They didn’t catch me. Well, technically it wasn’t a law, but I think a city bylaw. I didn’t ask what rules I was about to break, just told the transit employee I was going to take my chances and be riding the bus without paying. Now before […]
Random Thoughts While Watching The Convention
I was originally planning on attending last Saturday’s Conservative Leadership Convention, but a change of schedule meant I couldn’t make it to Toronto. So I watched on television. I jotted down some thoughts as the show progressed. Since I already had a number of posts scheduled, this is the first opportunity. There were, as I […]
Canadian Tulip Festival 2017 – VI

Canadian Tulip Festival 2017 – V
When I go to a tulip festival I expect to see tulips. After all, there are literally millions of bulbs planted in Ottawa as the basis for the Canadian Tulip Festival, here as a reminder of the enduring friendship between Canada and The Netherlands. So I’m not sure how or why one flowerbed this year […]
The Round Church – III
I do wonder how you get chosen to be one of the fortunate students who gets to study in this place. It can’t be as easy as just sending an email request, can it? To me it seems like a singular honour, but maybe that is because I am living in Ottawa where the […]
The Round Church – II
After yesterday’s post, I thought a photo essay would be appropriate for today.
The Round Church – I
I had been told it was no longer a church, but that wasn’t the full story. More accurate would be to say they no longer hold Sunday services there – but it is still a place where the gospel is proclaimed. Technically it is named The Church of the Holy Sepulchre, but everyone refers to […]
