Ravine Gate
This gate probably led to a home which had been in this ravine along the Humber River but since Hurricane Hazel in 1954 there have been no homes allowed in the floodplain of the river. The small wall on the right side shows the flagstones which are found along much of the Humber River and which have been used in many local gardens. My parents have a patio of these stones.
Sad homes were destroyed, but it's still a very lovely scene. :)
ReplyDeleteA poignant scene, P
ReplyDeleteThis is such a pretty fall scene!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely photo! I had no idea that a hurricane had ever hit Toronto, so I learned something new today.
ReplyDeleteThat is a fence and wall to remind people that it might be private property, but not to really keep anyone out. Never good to build on a river floodplain, so the ban on building is probably wise.
ReplyDeleteStonewalls & pillars are works of art! Beautiful image!
ReplyDeleteLove the gate, the leaves, the stones - everything! Gorgeous ravine!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty scenery.
ReplyDeleteThat's a nice fall image. The gate adds its character to the scene.
ReplyDeleteThat is a pretty spot.
ReplyDeleteA very attractive fence.
ReplyDeleteI like mysteries like this. The who and what happen arouse me curiosity.
ReplyDeleteNice little wall and fence.
ReplyDeleteOh now I'm wondering what the home behind that lovely gate would have been like Pat, mother nature can be harsh!
ReplyDeleteGoodness, this lovely spot reminds me of a place where I enjoy visiting, just for lingering and reflecting. Beautiful patio I'm sure too, they were lucky to get it from here!
ReplyDeleteIt is a nice scene, RedPat.
