I've always wanted to come to this place long time ago. Each time when I drive through Carling Avenue, this old green-domed Romanesque building really attracts me. Hence today we found some time to come over here. It was really quiet, there was nobody. Well, this place is not a tourist trap list-type. There were few parking spots designated for visitors.

The Dominion Observatory was used primarily for astronomical timekeeping. Maryam and Aiman enjoyed plucking the dandelions and running around the circle in front of the main obervatory building.
Astronomy amazes me, always. Shouldn't it?
Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation
of the night and the day are signs for those of understanding. [Quran, 3: 190]
And it is He who placed for you the stars that you may be guided by them
through the darknesses of the land and sea. We have detailed the signs
for a people who know. [Quran, 6: 97]
