Interesting Hobby (not cars)

[JPSmit]

I hope some (many?) of you are aware of the Group of Seven. They were some of Canada's most important artists. This couple have spent the last 40 plus years searching out the locations where the paintings are from. A lovely story and a great hobby.

And what a great hobby for anyone - traveling and finding the original locations for works of art.

Wonder if anyone recognizes this location -
