Sketched this at the Parry Sound town dock a week ago, then finished the washes back at the cottage… I used a larger format than I usually do, allowing more detail.
Apparently the largest trestle east of the Rockies, and important at the time due to the booming timber industry. Tom Tomson drew the same view in 1914, after paddling up from Go Home Bay. The lumber mills that he saw burned down shortly after… (see below; it should be obvious which one is his!)
I used to fish near this spot when we lived here in 1963 (As always, I rarely caught anything…).
You look like you are having a blast. Thanks for sharing.
