Theme Day: "Spirit"

The July theme day for the City Daily Photo Blog community is "Spirit" and I had a bit of a hard time with this one until visiting this chapel in the Annex neighbourhood during the Doors Open event. St Alban's was a chapel built in 1885 and was to be a chapel as part of a large Anglican cathedral but for several reasons including WWI the cathedral was never built. The chapel however continues to be a special place where the sight of its wonderful double hammerbeam ceiling always makes my spirits soar. It is a truly beautiful space!

Happy Canada Day to all my fellow Canadians!!
