Old Farm at L'Archeveque

Heading toward Sydney from Grand River this lovingly maintained old home, captured here as the setting sun casts long shadows, still looks out across the fields that were so labouriously cleared by the settlers of the 19th century.  And the spruce and fir still wait patiently for their eventual reclaiming of the land to return it to the arboreal forest of old.  The cities and towns grow larger in these years but the back roads of vigorous early days give way to neglect and nature.
