Title: On The Way Home
Post by: Joe Behar on January 10, 2010, 04:49:36 pm: After a very cold and photographically unproductive morning, I decided to take a new route home.

I think I'll take this road more often.

C&C welcome and appreciated.[attachment=19341:Barn_B_W_Web.jpg]

It looks like a scene worth revisiting at various times of day and year.

John,

Its on Castlederg Side Rd, somewhere east of Humber Station Rd.

If you go, do yourself a favour and let things warm up a bit. The wind was howling and my fingers darn near froze off.

Yep, that's the place. I thought I recognized it. I have photos from that area, but none as evocative as this one. Humber Station Rd going north is quite nice. I once followed a now old book by Ron Brown, called "The Back roads of Ontario." Great because he would guide the reader to various remains around the backroads and explain their history. Ironically enough, he got the Badlands all wrong. It is not an abandoned brickworks but simply too much deforestation. Of course there is a nearby clay brickworks. Great book nevertheless for photographers like us.

Mike.
