Michipicoten First Nation is in a remote area on the rugged shore of Lake Superior. Tucked between the rocky outcrops there are also long sandy beaches.... There's also an installation from the Group of Seven Touring Route, which is a recent new series of installations to showcase where some of Canada's most famous artists painted their iconic works. There are sturdy, permanent easels set up with copies of the paintings that were done at that spot. This is the one at Sand Beach, Michipicoten. We also saw them at Katharine Cove, Chippewa Falls, and Pancake Bay. There's a map available from Ontario Parks that shows where they all are. It was cold and extremely windy.... ...but still ever so beautiful.....

My favorite photo is of Baron in front of the historic marker/painting.

That's a real easel and stool with a copy of the painting that was done on that spot a hundred years ago.

The photos are beautiful, Martha! You really captured the windy autumn beauty of the scenery. I love the back view photos of Baron and Naomi.

Thanks. It was hard taking the photos of Baron and Naomi 'hiking' on the dunes. Even with additional support poked into the ground, the wind was so fierce that Baron was constantly blowing over backwards. Which is why there's so few photos from that angle, since it was almost impossible to do. Comments are closed.
