Stained glass panels- St Saviour's Church.

St. Saviour's Church, Nelson, BC, Canada

Recently I had the privilege of visiting

one of our treasured Heritage buildings,

the St. Saviours ProCathedral Church,

(in Nelson, BC.)

The numerous stained glass panels were amazing and the history interesting.

Here you can see more (and better) photos of the stained glass.

I hate to admit it, but, it's been a long time since I've been inside a church.

Sometimes it's fun to be a tourist in your own neighbourhood, Enjoy :)

*Note: the old chair has dog heads carved on the arms*

Another Fire in Nelson

Last night, (Jan 5/11) while the snow continued blowing, many of us slept,

and another Heritage Building went up in flames.

The Kerr Building (built in 1911) was home to a lot of people.

Fortunately it seems everyone got out safely.

However, their modest belongings are gone, and so are their homes.

Here are a couple of links- how you can help, story here and here.

***UPDATE- June 08, 2011: The Nelson Post- The wall comes down.***

The charred remains of a rocking horse and a pillow...

I walked up there on my lunch break, following the smell of smoke, and took these pictures.
