This is a tremendous series, Glenn!! When looking through them, I thought I was in the outer suburbs of Toronto, like Milton, Bowmanville, Vaughn; the same sort of thing is to be seen in those places. Giant monster homes, abutting lovely farmland, which farmland is unlikely to survive the next few years. Southern Ontario is some of the best farmland in North America, and it's being taken over by our cities at an alarming rate. Looks like the places you've photographed have the same problem. That is an impressive documentary of a vanishing way of life being taken over by our insatiable desire for new, larger and inefficient housing. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
