"Oh, good Lord! A highwayman!" -J.L. Picard


A semi-random collection of my photos and thoughts regarding highways and transportation, with particular focus on Ontario.

Highway 17 approaching Secondary Highway 638 at Bruce Mines, between Thessalon and Sault Ste. Marie. Looking at Google Streetview to figure out where I took the photo, I see that while most things have remained the same, small things like the signage has been updated to new standards and the speed limit being dropped have occurred. Doesn’t seem like all that long ago that I was up there.
