We have been up to Northern Ontario any number of times over the years and each time we take that trip up Highway 11, as we enter the town of Temagami, I note a derelict building on the South end of town and tell myself, sometime I need to stop and try to get some photos. Well on this occasion it was ‘sometime’. I dropped The Boss off in town to do some shopping while I strolled down to this building and captured a few images. The paint on the concrete building was nearly gone and the door was well past the ‘seen better days’ stage. Loved the look.- JW
