Description

Canon EF24-105mmL, 1/20, 1/30/ 1/50, F6.3, ISO1250
On our trip to Nova Scotia, we visited the Ross Farm Museum . It made this visit all the more enjoyable because my family on my father's side are Rosses and the former owner of the farm, Capt. Wm. Ross was an ancestor. We got caught in a major downpour and T-storm which cut our visit short, but we enjoyed what we did see. This is a photo of a woodcarver from the farm.

My goodness, Terry, I had no idea you had some Canadian in your blood! And Maritime Canadian at that! This visit to NS must have been extra special, particular to this farm museum originally belonging to an ancestor! Excellent portrait of this woodcarver at work. Great lighting and wonderful tones and textures - love the old toboggan in the background! #1399307
