St James Cathedral
From my archives comes this summer pic of St James Cathedral the home of the oldest congregation in the city having been established in 1797. This Anglican cathedral was designed by Frederick William Cumberland in Gothic Revival style and was constructed in 1853 replacing an older building that had burned down. Located right downtown on King St, it is surrounded by lovely gardens. I took this shot from the Toronto Sculpture Garden which is directly across the road.
And the sky was just perfect as a backdrop for your picture
ReplyDeleteReally nice photo. That was probably all built with ropes & pulleys
ReplyDeleteVery nice. I like the symmetry of this building and that whispy sky is stunning.

ReplyDeleteFeeling nostalgic about warm weather? I am. Love the green copper roof.

ReplyDeleteThe clouds really highlight the cathedral's spire.
ReplyDeleteVery nice, and I agree with the consensus - the clouds add a great touch.
ReplyDeleteCome on Pat, did you put in a request for those clouds..it looks like that they are 'heralding' the beauty of the steeple, fabulous shot!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful church and I love the way you've framed it with those wonderful trees.
