Nation Rise

July 23, 2021. On the way back from Chesterville I took what turned out to be a dead-end road and found myself pushing my bicycle beside a bean field alongside the Nation River, which is where I took this photo. It's called 'Nation Rise' because that's the name of the wind farm you can see behind the foliage. The windmills were strongly opposed by farmers in the area, and actually cancelled by the Ford government, before it became clear construction was too far along to just stop now. I've long thought it ironic that farmers - who have completely transformed the landscape, would oppose the wind farm. But as you can see, they all work together in harmony. https://flic.kr/p/2md3e5t
