The Slovak Cathedral of the Transfiguration in Markham, Ontario. A really splendid piece of Architecture that can be seen from several kilometers away.
I had to wake up early so I could avoid all the cars and big trucks crossing by the hwy from this perspective.
An HDR out of 5 images allowed me to capture the colours from the sky and the details of the church.

Chantry to the south of the High altar established after the death of Robert Markham in 1505, who directed in his will that his body should be buried on the south side of the High Altar. The chapel, like the chantry of Thomas Mering / Merying on the other side of the altar, is decorated with shields of the associated families.
Two of the bays have early 16c painted stone panels showing the “Dance of Death”. They show on the left a dancing skeleton flourishing a carnation (a symbol of mortality) and pointing to the grave, and on the right a well-dressed young man with his hand on his purse. The message to be conveyed is: As I am today, so you will be tomorrow - a warning that death awaits even the most well-to-do, and wealth cannot buy him off - a popular theme in the Middle Ages.

The Markham Local departs out of the yard. Too bad it tied down at Matteson for the rest of the day, otherwise I would have pursued it further.
