While the rest of our crew does what they need to do, I wander across the dusty parking lot toward the two-lane highway. I want to remember this place that everyone else tends to forget, but I’m not quite sure how.
The Trans-Canada Highway runs parallel to the railway that first built this nation, the thick forests looming over trains and cars alike as they have for well over a century.
I notice the trees lean ever so slightly, a compensation, of sorts, for the prevailing winds that blow across the land. I smile at the notion of unseen forces shaping the landscape so subtly over the course of decades and centuries, and realize the photo I had wanted to take was staring at me through the lens all along.
Soon enough, we resume our journey and put this isolated crossroads behind us, leaving the whispering winds to quietly continue their important work.
