Not that it is so exciting, but one night before Christmas, I decided to photograph the crossroads that are part of my daily life these days. That is where the 212 arriving west from Cookshire (and Sherbrooke) heading east toward N D des Bois and Mount Megantic park meets the 257 which from the south starts at the Third Connecticut Lake at the border of New Hampshire and goes north toward Scotstown.
Thus on the strip of photograph, we first see the 257 heading north to Scotstown with the D�panneur in the background. Then the 212 heading east to N D des Bois. In between you see Bar La Patrie with its gaz station. Follows the 257 heading toward the USA, the COOP/Bonichoix supermarket, my bike, a house fully decorated. The hill is the 212 going westwardly to Cookshire, the hardware store, the caisse pop (credit union) and H�tel La Patrie with its bar and its big Christmas tree... and back is the 257. In the meantime two trucks would have passed by without you noticing.
The first time I went by that crossroad, I said: "Wow, this looks great! The place seems cool." I would still say so. The 212/257 crossroad is not the most ecological in the world, but it invites you to drop by.
