Winter Apples, Peterborough

Winter Apples, Irish Trad

It’s already been a busy 2008, with an exam route that took me deep into the Kiwarthas, east of Toronto, to Peterborough, and then back through Whitby.

I have been to Peterborough at least 20 times over the years, but no one ever tipped me off about this incredible structure to the east out of the downtown, purportedly Canada’s largest lift-lock! Discovering the narrow single-track roadway that runs through the interior of the building early one morning as a cold, snowy night slowly ebbed its way to daybreak, it appeared absolutely monolithic and evocative in the extreme.

I returned on my lunchbreak during a busy day of conducting music exams - it wasn’t quite so cold with the sun that had broken through the clouds!
