Day 36
I headed out at the crack of dawn this morning to get a quick shot on the edge of Brampton of a lost road.
I was looking through pictures taken around Brampton that are posted on flickr, using the explore places function. And I came across this picture:
by Lone Primate.
It is a short portion of 2nd Line, which once upon a time was a significant road. But today this tiny bit is no longer connected to any road, and is only accessible by foot on a hiking trail. I find it fascinating to find abandoned spaces in the middle of all the urban sprawl.
After spending close to an hour last night exploring the associated set of photos on Flickr, I had decided this road would be what I was going to shoot next. I knew it would be buried under snow, but I had to get out there to see it for myself. I’ll be returning again to explore further, and think I’ll shoot in this area a few times as the seasons pass over the coming year.
I used to live in this area and drive old derry rd to work every day. Thanks for the hour plus trip down memory lane. Strangely enough I curled against a guy today who I played with over 10 years ago when I lived in Mississauga, then I come home to see your pic. Wierd.
Synchronicity!
