My entry to @marc-allaria’s contest~ WORLD CONTEST PHOTOGRAPHY Round 13.
Small Villages Of The World
Not far from where I live on Prince Edward Island, Canada is the Orwell Corner Historic Village.
The early Orwell settlement was founded in the early 19th century by Scots from the Isle Of Skye and Irish from Monaghan co. Ireland.
Gaelic would have been the language spoken by the first settlers.
I checked my archives to see what I had photographed of the historic location.
On entering the gravel road off the Trans Canada Highway the wooden shingled barns are still standing from the original village.
Although I didn’t see the caretaker of the property, a pony was peacefully grazing in the pasture.
Going further on the tree-lined gravel road is the Sir Andrew Macphail (1864-1938) Homestead and its 140-acre property in Orwell preserved as a museum.
Early spring flowers and the leaves on the trees were making an attractive appearance.
I will have to make another visit to check out this historic village as at one time there was a church, blacksmith shop, school and general store.
