Pumping Station, Haileybury - a photo on Flickriver

            I decided to take a little trip to New Liskeard from our temporary base in Haileybury, Ontario, just to get a better feel for the area. I headed out Lakeshore Road, South along the shore of Lake Temiskaming, and as I passed by the intersection with Brewster Street, I spotted a pumping station beside the road. It is not that I have any particular interest in pumping stations, but this one had been decorated in an elaborate paint job featuring a large rainbow and colourful flowers. I parked my gar on the steep slope of Brewster Street, grabbed my gear and captured this. A nice bright bit of colour in a spot that soon will be covered in leaves and then, all too soon, snow. - JW
