It seems to me there are several spots in Ontario where you get a view like this. A road as straight as a landing strip visible for miles. But, when you drive it you find the road descends to cross a river - often with a hamlet hidden amongst willows and other grand scale trees - then rises to place you back on the same heading. Who were these precise road builders that laid out these dead straight concession roads all those years ago??
looking north through the Bighead River valley down towards the village of Bognor.
