No Gravatar,2006年,Ottowa(渥太华,首都)的郁金香节,其实就是有一两个公园里面种满的各种各样的各色郁金香花,场面还是好看。Ottowa的国会山庄和国立图书馆也十分漂亮.至于Montreal(蒙特利尔) 的ST.Joseph’s Oratory 差不多有百年的历史了,是世界上第二大的圆顶式的教堂.

St. Joseph’s Oratory,A major site of Roman Catholic pilgrimage and worship, St. Joseph’s began with the devotional impulse of a humble monk called Frère André. His original tiny chapel, begun in 1904, is still extant on the west side of the church shown here, which was begun in 1924 and finished in 1956. The dome is the world’s second largest, after St. Peter’s in Rome.

Religious visitors sometimes climb the steps in the middle, praying at every step; more pragmatic ones walk up normally or take one of the free shuttle buses from the base.

Inside there are essentially two large churches one atop the other, as well as side chapels including the candlelit hall leading to Frère André’s tomb.
