Something from the archives. This would be several years old. I was on the Centennial Ridges trail in Algonquin Park. It's a great trail, ten kilometres long, going up and down a series of ridge lines in a circle, honouring various figures of the park's history. The trail was established in 1993, the centennial year of the park's founding. Centennial Ridges is one of my favourite places in the world. This is taken from one of the high points by a passing hiker, midway along the trail.
Yes, I look thoroughly disreputable.
My partner in crime Norma fit me into a different kind of photograph. Yesterday was her birthday; click on that link and wish her a belated Happy Birthday!
You look like a hiker to me !
