Life from the ruins London, ON October 2023 This photo originally shared on Instagram |
This place once teemed with the lives of those who had sacrificed so much and deserved to be cared for in return. Now, the wind blows through the trees that surround this clearing, a distant whisper that the knots of hikers and dog walkers who wander through here don’t seem to be tuned into.
For now, the forest’s colours paint a vibrant backdrop around this resonant space, an annual paint job that almost feels like a belated thank you to those who once called this place home.
The buildings may be long gone, but history’s echoes can still be felt if we stop here for a moment and listen for them.
