Photographer’s Note

Construction began in 1826 to build a white frame church 52 ft long and 32 ft wide, with 3 windows on each side, a gallery in the back, and with a steeple and spire. The land was purchased for 10 Shillings by parishioners
.

After many hours of labour, freely and generously given by many people, the church was ready for the first service in November, 1827. In 1828, the church was consecrated St. Peter's, thought to be named after the patron saint of Colonel Adamson. This first church served until 1886, when plans were made for a better and larger building. In May, 1887, it was torn down and the new stone building begun. The stone for the second church was all taken from the Credit River, a hard job and many men and boys gladly gave their time and the ladies supplied food and drinks. Many teams and wagons or sleighs were needed to transport the stone up from the river. The tower and spire were added in 1910 for $3000.
St. Peter's Church Erindale stands high on a hill overlooking the Credit River, an historic landmark and an eloquent tribute to the faith of those who settled here almost 180 years ago.

Hi Ziggy
This was a good time to shoot this church as there is some light in the sky and a smooting of the clouds due to their movement. The lighting shows definition in the walls especially where the ivy is growing.

Great night or twilight shot! The balance of lighting is perfect, which is not easy to do because of the different light sources. I like the cloud blur from the long exposure, which to me always gives a photo a look like it's out of this world. Excellent work!

Bonjour mon ami,
typiquement hiver canadien ici. J'aime beaucoup tes photos nocturnes , je crois d'ailleurs que ta galerie en contient un grand pourcentage. Souvent plus calmes de nuit, et malgré ces lumières difficiles, tout ressort bien y compris les couleurs.
Amitié.
Daniel.

Hi Ziggy,
I'll guess that this is a beautiful early morning view of this stately old stone church that stands out brilliantly against the vivid blue sky and flattering yellow light.
Beautiful winter scene.
Regards, Tom
