While photographing Sable River Mill in my previous upload, the roadside colours caught me eye as this aptly coloured car passed by.
Summer's gone. October brings us a brilliant flash of fiery colour, and then it, too, is gone.
This farm was more-or-less viable for perhaps 150 years or so, but now it's in a seriously steep decline. The roof of the barn has several major holes in it; the shed has a wide crack through the end wall and is missing half its gable end; and the windmill is missing most of its blades and probably hasn't functioned for decades. Given the rough terrain, the land was never really suitable for cultivation anyway. Today, a few cattle still graze the hills behind the barn; however, the field in the foreground has been abandoned for a number of years now, and the bush beyond that looks to be less than a hundred years old, likely having reclaimed an abandoned pasture.
These are all things that can readily be deciphered from the landscape. I don't know the specific circumstances or the detailed history of this place. However, I doubt the hardworking people who cleared this land and built these buildings imagined it would end like this. Or so soon. Will all this land revert to forest? Or will it be excavated for the abundance of gravel that the Ice Age glaciers deposited here? We'll likely find out soon enough. For now though, I'll enjoy the scene--for the colours, of course, and for what I can glean about human interactions with the landscape.
This scene immediately caught my eye. But there were 'problems'. No matter the angle I tried, the visual clutter could not be eliminated. So, I settled for an 'it is what it is' approach, figuring I could always clean things up later.
However, when I got around to post-processing today, I couldn't decide which way to go: realistic or idealistic. So, I did both! I'm hoping you'll tell me which you prefer, with your faves, and 'why' with your comments.

Thought I'd slip in a fence before hitting the road. This is our sand riding ring, there are a number of maple trees that surround it so it's quite beautiful in the fall when the leaves change colour. I'm hoping to see a lot more colour as we head down through New York and Pennsylvania today.
Hope you all have a wonderful restful weekend!

Just east of Revelstoke, BC CP 8921 heads west through Greely. Autumn of 2019
The consist is a long line of Grain Hoppers bound for west coast port facilities.
The Erie Canal was built to create a navigable water route from New York City and the Atlantic Ocean to the Great Lakes, originally stretching for 363 miles (584 km) from the Hudson River in Albany to Lake Erie in Buffalo.
Construction began in 1817, and it opened on October 26, 1825. The canal has 34 numbered locks starting with Black Rock Lock and ending downstream with the Troy Federal Lock. It has an elevation difference of about 565 feet (172 m).
In 2000, Congress designated the Erie Canal a National Heritage Corridor. Recognizing the national significance of the canal system as the most successful and influential human-built waterway and one of the most important works of civil engineering and construction in North America.
