These photos are mostly ass backwards as far as sequence, but taken together they will get you through at least the rest of my summer trips. These first few are of various views around Prince Edward County Ontario where we stayed for a few weeks. The amazingly smooth lake is called Lake of the Mountain because it sits pretty much at the highest point on the island. No one seems to have figured out what keeps it from draining since water continually flows out but there is no apparent source to replenish it.
This next group are all photos I took from a helicopter tour I was treated to by two total strangers I met at Oeno Gallery, a truly spectacular art gallery on the grounds of the Huff Winery.
The boat above, the Zephyr III belongs to my friends John and Signy Cowle and Abner and I got to stay on it for a few nights during our visit to Toronto. It was like being Jay Gatsby. The brick house below is John and Signy's place in Picton where we stayed for a couple of weeks. In the driveway next to the house is my trailer.
The upper photo here is one of a zillion beach shots I took and the two photos below are from the Mariner's Memorial park where an 1828 vintage lighthouse was rebuilt. The big wooden rudder was retrieved from an old shipwreck in Lake Ontario. Abner cooperated nicely posing as a scale figure so you could see the size of this thing.
These shots are a few of the photos I took at the Antique Boat Museum in Clayton, NY toward the end of our stay in the area. Clayton is a really appealing little town at the beginning of the Thousand Islands and the museum is nothing short of amazing.
Prince Edward County is completely surrounded by Lake Ontario and assorted bays and coves and there are dozens of beaches that range from rocky to nice sand.
On our last night in Canada we experienced a truly amazing violent thunderstorm that seemed to come out of nowhere. The wind blew like crazy, there was lightning thunder and rain, and the whole thing was over in about 20 minutes.
