I arouse this morning at five .
The days are will become fewer as this morning was. I decided that I would capture a few shots and then leave off to the Fairmount Hotel MacDonald.
I was not using my tripod. As it was so early, I was granted the right to take picture on the terrace. One year ago I took pictures inside of it that are here on my photo stream.
However the terrace would not have been open during the winter. As usually they don't allow anyone to this area of the back terrace, which amazed me. These hotels were built by the CNR, from the East Coast right through to the West Coast. I am certainly pleased that I went at the time I did.
Saturday mornings with a lens can be very interesting as well the people that you meet along with it. The name of the Hotel was originally the Sir John A. MacDonald Hotel, until it was franchise much like the all of these notable hotels.
To see this terrace for the very first time, take some photographs as well as run into a few "early birds" was certainly an enjoyment.
Beautiful
ReplyDeleteI really like this one.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the trees have just a touch of fall to them in the distance
ReplyDeletenice courtyard shot
ReplyDeleteThank you...
ReplyDeleteIt was a great time in which I have not done too much with my camera. I think photographs say so much. These plants that look like palms, I have no idea what they are but they certainly were nice within this "garden".
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! It brings Norah Jones song to mind: Sunrise, sunrise
ReplyDeleteLooks like mornin' in your eyes...
Early birds see wonderful skies which sleepy only sees in her dreams.
They have a nice terrace. I love nice hotels with the huge flower arrangements in the Hall and often times a piano bar where you can listen to music before or after dinner and simply relax. It reminds me of the years I used to travel for work and was staying in nice hotels of Toronto area. Nice pics Jack.

ReplyDeleteLovely sunrise. Bright yellow for a bright day.
ReplyDeleteAll Fairmont Hotels are lovely but this one is spectacular.
ReplyDeleteGreat angle.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it interesting how we all love the sunrise and the sunset. The one thing we all have in common is that we all do see the same sun at different time zones and somehow the rays of the sunrise as well as the sunset do something for us.
ReplyDeleteMany people try to catch sunrise Author of picture isn't exception in it but he is in exception in askance view to it..:) I like such attitude to snap..:)
