Disappeared village...
The rural area has its unique scenery. At north of Ontario, scattered first nation tribes and Mennonite community villages. For the first nations, the old traditions have diminished, such as, women were farmers and did most of the child care and cooking, men were hunters and sometimes went to war to protect their families, both genders practiced story-telling, artwork and music, and traditional medicine, etc. The lifestyle is similar to us, except politically independent and has its own government, most of them live beside the lakes… However, Mennonite community, Amish families and communities maintain a more primitive lifestyle than the surrounding culture. Amish lifestyle differs from community to community, for example, no TV and internet for some Amish communities… Work at sunrise, rest at sunset.
The photo was taken at Johnson Township, a vibrant agricultural community with a seasonal Farmer’s Market supported by the local Mennonite community. Beautiful sunshine day, but very cold and strong wind. Mennonite community village was almost disappeared in the blowing snow.
Although my sister and I were wrapped like balls in -30C, still felt being swept away by blizzard ... But we were happy like kids in the blowing snow... 😉
