Sense of Smelling

Cee's Fun Foto Challenge



Beer - Toronto ON




Cheese - St. Andrew Scotland



Perfume - Grasse France


Flowers - Stoufville ON



And most maligned smell of all! Durian Singapore

The smell evokes reactions from deep appreciation to intense disgust, and has been described variously as rotten onions, turpentine, and raw sewage. The persistence of its odour, which may linger for several days, has led to the fruit's banishment from certain hotels and public transportation in Southeast Asia.

June 2017 - Stouffville ON

This was our first stop on Doors Open in June. Stouffville is located about 30 km from Toronto.

The town was named after George Lemon, who was granted land at this location in 1805. In 1877 the town reached a population of 100.

The first services were held within a frame schoolhouse in 1854 and were moved to the first church building in 1856. Newly designated under the Ontario Heritage Act, the current church was constructed in 1869 and is situated adjacent to the cemetery, where grave inscriptions date from 1857.


There was so much history available in paper form in the basement, but I couldn't find any online.
