Rambling into the Hinterland

The previously posted autumn rambles took place on Friday. Saturday was not conducive for travel, but Sunday was one of the few days in what seems like forever without high velocity winds. There were also sunny times as the sun and clouds took turns dominating the sky.

Drawn by fb posts of an obscure rural cemetery, we headed off in a new-for-us direction. It is not that far away, but we hadn't yet travelled some of these backroads.

We were about to turn off the highway onto county road 15 when Sue spied an unusual fence from her passenger window. I don't know all of what is going on here, but whatever it is, they were not finished as there was more work being done off to the lower right. I thought that work in progress wouldn't  benefit the photo, so my angle was rather restricted. For whatever reason, I decided to convert to mono but keep the [selective] colour in the flowers (mums).

After awhile on #15 we made a right turn onto Upper Perth Road at Ferguson's Falls. There was colour to be seen, and I stopped for a few quick photos, but this is the only keeper. I just take quick photos on rambles such as this and am disappointed by many. This one with the fence, however, I like well enough.

From there we turned onto a more rural road called Miller.

Finally, we were on our destination road, 10B in Lanark Highlands Township. As befits the highlands, the road was hilly and picturesque in places.

We don't see many abandoned buildings hereabouts, or at least I don't, but there was an abandoned place or two on 10B, including this barn.

We did find the little cemetery, but I would have easily missed it from the driver's seat. There was a little farm-style gate with the cemetery somewhat beyond, but I will leave the rest for another post.
