Legislative Library
Probably the real reason Catherine was okay with seeing this building yet again

This is an Art installation that was in the hallway on the tour
 I was quite fascinated with the recycling of the 'printed circuit boards, brass wire & copper tubing'

Welcome to the Chamber

Up close and personal with the hand carved oak doors
If you haven't noticed from some of my other photos I am very interested in
Architecture. Older buildings over newer ones

Dome and amazing architecture 

Marble columns

Saskatchewan coat of Arms
Not that Glen was with me for this trip but
I could hear him say " How do they make such things?!"
Beautiful

Welcome to Regina's Legislature
Although Catherine has been to the musuem on a
number of occasions she kindly agreed to wander over yet again so I could
partake in the experience
When I took this picture I was actually unable to see anything really because of
the VERY Bright Sun!!

Getting up close and personal...

Closer...
I love decorative doors!

and closer still

Somehow I skipped over the short trip I took out to see my sister the September long weekend 2016...

As many of you know Catherine moved to Regina to pursue a career with Library Sciences. 
During the exceptionally hot weekend which I didn't pack for specifically (should have brought a lighter pair of cabris) we took in the Science Museum, The Legislative Buildings and a self guided walking tour of Lumsden. Which oddly enough I took us in the wrong direction for the first hour or so despite having a map! Oh well after having some ice cream  and really looking at where we were we managed to get onto the right street and we both enjoyed the walk around town.
Please enjoy the following photos from this visit...

There's not much left at Margaret especially if you take
the old highway...bridges did I tell you we love old bridges too!?

They still have their elevator...

and their original school house

Elva Manitoba was once a bustling hub to do business
As you can see now it has deteriorated some...however was a fine day and lots of fun. Was a wonderful place to stop and
have our pinic
Another example of an UGG grain elevator, this one is being left to rot...

I wanted to stop and explore this great house, but when we drove by the second time (on the way out of Elva)
someone was actually taking in supplies. So I can only hope that this structure is being salvaged...saved?! 

Glen & I love old buildings, especially churches.
This one is not abandoned...
"Just needs a good paint job" said one of the three remaining residents

This one and a half storey home with a lean to kitchen however
is just waiting to fall over with the next big wind storm

Elva is off the beaten path but worth the trip if you are heading out to the Melita/Pierson area
