| Standing silent sentinel Port Stanley, ON October 2022 This photo originally shared on Instagram |
The crowds head home, the temperatures dive, the winds intensify, and the ice fencing goes up.
But the waves still pound the shore. The birds continue to fly wild circles, angrily, overhead. The sand still stings when the winds pick up.
And the lifeguard tower stands silent sentinel over all that’s left, its safety equipment left out just in case.
It’s comforting to know the folks responsible for this place care about complete strangers as much as they do.
It’s comforting to stand here and feel the echoes of a place where crowds once were, and eventually will be again.
