Over the New Year's Holiday I......broke in my new camera by going for long walks and snapping away...
...and bringing it to the Oratory. The above picture is of the Crypt Church...
... and here are our two biggest pipe organs. The above picture is of the organ in the Crypt Church which was recently restored...
...and here is the massive 5, 811 pipe Beckerath organ in the Basilica. It's so big that it's impossible to get the entire thing in one shot, except from the front of the church.Over the New Year's Holiday I...
...spent a blissful amount of time with my sweetheart and am still on cloud 9 over it.
...went to a family dinner.
...spent a wonderful evening with my friends from work...including my sweetheart :o)
...took a friend to the Oratory's organist's weekly concert. It's a freebie every Sunday afternoon at 3:30 and he invites people to go and sit up in the Basilica's organ loft with him for the half hour concert. He answers as many questions about his job and the organ as he can fit into his 50 minute time-frame and seeing him play is quite the treat. If ever you're in Montreal on a Sunday afternoon, give it a try, it's a real blast!
I am so glad you and your sweetie managed to spend some time together......
