Day 2 - St. Jacobs (Mill Race)

This man-made stream is full of beauty. As it was constructed over a century ago, it has had much time to develop some gorgeous growth along its banks. These trees give a wonderful splendor to the area. In the autumn the colours add even more to the beauty. The dam at the start of the race, though small, generates a wonderful soothing sound as the water roars over the precipice. The pond upstream displays some of the most exquisite pastoral reflections I have seen. I really could just grab a book and sit down and enjoy the place for hours. One almost always sees a number of men or boys casting lines and actually frequently catching fish.
