On the Boil

After our fine breakfast of pancakes, french toast and sausages, all doused heavily with maple syrup, we took a gander around the boiler room. Despite the earliness of the season, the previous day must have been a good one for the sap flow, for it had been sunny and temperatures had risen above freezing. Whatever the case, one of the boilers was hard at work.

But first, I took a picture of Sue doing her project thing, which was to shoot through things.


I was keen to photograph the steam being emitted from the boiler. I took two photos: one of the whole scene and one more focused on the boiler.



At the time, I thought that I would prefer the closer photo, but in the end, I find myself favouring the wider photo. I guess it shouldn't surprise me, for I often prefer the more contextual photos.

  3. Oh good, you could still move about after the maple syrup feast. Just jealous a bit! Those boilers are amazing. I guess it's kind of open to see the syrup boiling/

  9. That looks like a steam engine in the 50s.

    Wider shot looks the best

  10. Modern syrup making equipment is very shiny. So to meet all the safety requirements stainless steel does the trick.
