The North Door

The bird is most likely a Peregrine Falcon. The photo was taken in the St. Vincent de Paul Church cemetery near Simcoe Park in Niagara-on-the-Lake. The original church was built here in 1835, the first Catholic Church in the Niagara Peninsula, and made of timber and clapboard in Gothic Revival style. The present church was enlarged in 1961. The afternoon was bright and sunny, not a cloud in the sky, and the town was full of tourists, you could barely walk down the sidewalks on Queen St. without stepping on someone's toes.
