Red River Valley

Along a main drag in Sudbury, I was captivated by these fenced-off, decomissioned grain silos. Almost lost in their shadow, I discovered this diminuitive yet poignant ‘Pioneer Park’ (note the plaque!) that was somehow even more compelling. Red River Valley – admittedly a Manitoba-based song – seemed to capture the spirit of the scene as I recorded outdoors with the busy 4-lane road nearby!
