The Experimental Farm
What a summer! It has been pouring every day for the last two months and we are all complaining about it. Canada is all about the weather: winters are long and cold, so we need some nice weather during the summer!
Nonetheless, the city is pretty quiet right now. A lot of people went to their cottages — some courageous souls are even going camping.
Meanwhile, I’m roaming in the city with my camera. I took a walk in the central experimental farm the other day, between two downpours. The farm is centrally located and surrounded by the city of Ottawa (that’s how much space we have here!). Thanks to the rain, the crops are growing fast and the colors were quite nice.

@Khengsiong — Yeah, it’s pretty unique!
@Seraphine — I wish you were in charge or the marijuana growing business here, I’m sure you would increase sales and the well-being of the country!
@Tanya — Thank so much!
@beaverboosh — Yeah, sometimes I wonder too. As far as I know, the corn and the cows are normal… I think
@Cuckoo — Thanks!
@Gledwood —
Drugs are bad but yeah, I’m sure it must have been a weird experience. There is a reason why rave parties are always in fields!
@Seb — And your memories bring me back memories or running in lavenders fields somewhere in Southern France… ah, the smell!
@Brenda — I don’t mind cooler temperatures (well, lower humidex) but the rain really gets annoying. The far is located West, I live right in front of it… around Prince of Wales and Merivale road.
