I thought about cropping the dark clouds back, but what’s a fire without smoke?

Just behind the large tree on the right is the Vankleek Hill fairgrounds. I’m standing in the Vankleek Hill municipal yard… it’s about the size of a basketball court, and houses the extra firetruck and the “dog pound”, which is just bigger than an outhouse.

This is literally the western edge of town… most towns seem to peter out gradually, usually ending with some factories or abandoned cars or car dealerships. Vankleek Hill just stops with a farmer’s fence…
