Around the Bend and Into Spanish
Around the Bend and Into Spanish

With a day of rain forecasted in Sudbury, I took the chance to drive over to The Sault, just for the fun of it. Not really anticipating seeing anything, I was very lucky to have stumbled upon 913 (I think) heading westbound beside me on Hwy 17, just a few miles past Espanola. The slow pace of the Webbwood Sub made it pretty easy to find a good angle and research the next one while the train took its time to catch up to me, a benefit to someone who'd researched the only east of Espanola....

Not long after picking up the chase, I stopped at Spanish for no-brainer type of shot showing the "Distance To..." sign highlighting some classic northern Ontario destinations. Sudbury being the home of the big nickel and Espanola being the turn-off point to the northern gateway of Manitoulin Island. The execution of the angle can be improved (I'm not impressed with how I positioned that distracting arrow sign in the foreground), but it still ends up being one of my favorites of the trip. Not bad for a day when I didn't think I'd have to take off my lens cap.
