The Greatest Remedy
Project 52 – Entry #34
We’re back at Black Creek Pioneer village. I shared a number of images from this terrific place before Christmas and I still have a few I want to share with you. Can you image a peddler steering this horse drawn carriage through a village selling his “Greatest Remedy” concoction. Good for both internal and external use….hmmm?

Very nicely captured Edith. I wonder if it slows down the aging process too?

Excellent find, Edith. Love these vintage wagons. Just think, back in the day, you could see that thing coming for miles with that bright color on it. 🙂
Well done!

Oh I love this!! I have a peddler’s cart in my collection too, I got it at a living history village in New Brunswick. Isn’t it amazing to think things were sold this way. Great shot Edith.

Great capture, Edith! Love the way you have brought the details out inside the barn without overdoing the HDR processing – looks very natural.
