Ontario: Arnprior to Peterborough

These are the details of the Church you could see the steeple of...







The Arnprior Museum, and Scotia Bank





Renfrew Countryside










These are photos of the 350 km trip from Renfrew to Peterborough


Northern Ontario is Rugged. We have terraine that is as deep as small mountains.
Our roads had to be blasted through the rock of this uneven land.


We pass no less than 50 lakes and rivers on our trek.





You can see the beginnings of the fall colours.

















BOO!



The Boreal Forest is not complete without the vital bog.
The bog re-establishes the nutrients to this rocky Canadian Shield.

The Church window is beautiful - good framing on the picture! Looks like you had a very busy outing.

Thanks for stopping by me blog.

I'm sorry about your friend's passing. I think I've been to that church in Arnprior.

My picture is actually of a brown Irish sheep. Kinda like me, not a black sheep, but a brown one, but one who tries to follow the Lord's voice.

I'm checking out the I am Canadian blogroll next.

Oh geeze.
Can you believe I got that sooo wrong!
It is really hard for me to look at the avatar and see a sheep!
WOW

You know Rhelynn,

I didnt think we were that busy until this week.
My recovery from the trip has taken a week.
I finally got some energy Saturday evening.

Neat photo array! I especially like the shots of the spillway, such a lovely graceful curve of water!
