Apr. 20 2012 Ukrainian Church in Ottawa - Looking for nice Orthodox churches to photograph, I found this one that attracted my eyes with its golden cupolas and great windows - it was not very sunny, but I really like this kind of cloudy light :) * I'm so proud to let you know that I won the contest for old photography on Dgrin, with the "Chateau Laurier" photo I posted few days ago :)

Apr. 16, 2012 The formal Central Station in Ottawa (across the street from the Chateau Laurier) opened its doors in 1912 as well. Today the railway doesn't exist anymore and the building was transformed into Conference Center.

Chateau Laurier, Ottawa - A century of existence Winner of the DSS #100 "Photography 100 yrs ago" ! The hotel was to be opened on 26 April 1912, but Charles Melville Hays, who was returning to Canada for the hotel opening, perished on Titanic when it sank on 15 April. A subdued opening ceremony was held on 12 June 1912, with Sir Wilfrid Laurier in attendance.
