Queen's University

| Queen's something-or-the-other at Queen's University |
 |
| Marshall spent several hours poking around in here while I wandered the city streets. |
Churches were easy to spot with their steeples and spires lifted high in the sky.
Unfortunately, all those lovely pictures turned sideways here on the blog,
so I used other means to display the pictures.
(Note: Some of these pictures were downloaded from the web for ease in viewing.)
Many of the churches were on....
 |
| Chalmers United Church |
 |
| St. Andrews Presbyterian Church |
 |
| St. Georges Cathedral |
 |
| St. Mary's Cathedral |
 |
| St. Mary's Cathedral |
Of course, although quite a few of the churches were on Clergy Street,
residences with the beautiful flowers seemed to connect them.
 |
| Don't really know what this was. It looked like an altar. Watching the ladies scurry around, the event seemed significant . |
 |
| Close up shows candles, flowers, cups, and white linen... Any ideas? |
The next few pictures display the park near Queen's University. The grounds included soccer fields, play equipment, and much open space with some picnic tables scattered throughout. Several youth camp groups enjoyed the various offerings.
 |
| Art in the city... This guy was the 4th musician seen. The first was an elementary age girl playing piano at a seemingly community piano next to the shops. The second was a young girl playing violin on the sidewalk -- collecting donations from those passing by. The third was a high school age young man playing Moonlight Sonata on the piano previously enjoyed by the young gal. This was the only musician in the park -- suspected that merchants and store owners liked his choice of location as we could hear him at least a block away. Very enjoyable surprises each time... This particular school caught my attention. I thought it was a church, or had been one, but the sign indicates it was built originally as a public school. Quite a beautiful building... |
 |
| Art by the kids... The next few pictures are from a city project. I suspect that this area of Kingsport would not house the Queen, so this project seemed like an oasis in the midst of the residences. |
 |
| Although this is too tiny to read, the message is of the park being in memory of those who had lived here. The project was set up by the city of Kingsport to honor those that had died. |
 |
| Wrong direction -- but couldn't delete this memorial as this was what the park was all about... |
 |
| Kiddie pool with lifeguard (not shown). Notice the ducks swimming -- waiting for a little one to come play. |
 |
| With much playground equipment -- although not new by any means, the kids seemed to have a grand time. Several of the children asked when it was time for the pool. Such delightful sights and sounds! |
And then back to the city streets....
 |
| Maybe not the smallest car, but this one certainly seemed like it at the moment. |
 |
| Favorite for anyone? |
And Lake Ontario was right around the corner.
 |
| Water and windmills -- seems like a good match here... |
The trip was one to repeat if could.
Very enjoyable with much to see.
Nice people. Good food. And beauty in a variety of ways all around.
For this experience, I give thanks...
