Lovely work! I find the lower sun and longer shadows in late September, very attractive. Very beautiful video! I am already looking forward to next Spring's renewal. Off topic, but related to your road allowance video last week, I recall researching about 10 years ago, Canada's work with NORAD in the 1950s. As you probably know, there was a line of radar stations across Canada at approximately the 50th parallel. But there were also radar stations located further south. And apparently one was proposed just off of North Shore Road, east of the current Foley Mountain Conservation Area, above Westport. And I believe an actual radar station was built further north, just west of the current Highway 10. I found a great map at an RCAF history site 10 years ago, and once tried locating any evidence of the proposed radar site off Grady Road. No luck. The actual built radar site, is now a gated private residence. Haven't researched since that time. But it was an interesting topic to discover about a decade ago.
Thanks Pat! Interesting about the southern Dew Line. I saw the “northern line” during a summer job many years ago. It was abandoned then but we were able to sleep in the old buildings for our work stay.
They were called 'Gap Filler' radar stations. And there was a working station located just off of Murphy Road, north of Westport. Now a private residence, with a long laneway. According to one website, the tower and radar dome were built at the site just south of Murphy Road, north of Westport in July 1963.
