Drumlin

 

Drumlin

Down the side road, by the corn maze, there is an odd little hill, a glacial remnant, and a reminder of why this land is so fertile. Glacial till deposited as the drumlin was formed by the melting ice, is some of the richest soil in Canada. Soil that feeds cities and industry that in turn devours the very soil that made them possible.

Hamilton Rd Undulations

Hamilton Rd Undulations

I drive past this vista regularly, there’s a rutted farm track that goes through the fields. The land tells tales of retreating glacial flood waters, followed by forests then farms. These fields are zoned industrial use and one by one they’re disappearing under concrete and asphalt, how do we balance intelligent development with future need, in a hungry world?

Into The Distance

Into The Distance

Some times the fields seem to go on as far as the eye can see, an illusion of straight fence lines, and undulating land.

Green and Gold

Not far off the beaten track of the 401 super highway, a rural road winds past farmsteads and villages, a welcome respite from the City that nibbles at the lands around it. Veracious in it's appetite, will the City snatch these lands into it's maw as so many already devoured?  The zoning change has already taken place, the clock is ticking...

Pump House

A remnant of rural life, surrounded by developing subdivisions, safe only until it becomes worth the work of flattening the rolling landscape.  I record it while I can.

Corn and Beans

Corn and Beans, behind the farm market, rolling hills cloaked in crops, undulate their way toward a sugar bush, both are productive and beautiful.
