Our trip to Wakefield

We started to fall in love with this little town when we took the 1907 built Steam Train to Wakefield in 2003 fall. It is a beautiful town located north of Ottawa, 50 minutes away from our home. Click here to see more photos of Wakefield.
Driving along Highway 5 in the fall was a thrilling experience. The scenic colorful picture along the highway is just like the one in the fairy tales. It really made my heart open and to praise God for this wonderful creation.

Ever wonder what kind of chemistry God added onto the Autumn colors? Click here to find out.

When you arrive there, it is always a good idea to check with locals or the Info Center for the steam train's arrival time. Then you can start to tour the town. You can go to see the historical red covered bridge, or just walking along the riverside, take some photos, and do windows shopping. You can even stop by a restaurant for a cup of coffee or hot soup. Trust me, it is chilly out there and that will certainly help to warm you up. :)

This time, we went to the Chamberlin's Lookout for our "afternoon tea" 30 minutes before the train arrived. It was not really "afternoon tea" for us, because I ordered a hot soup and Doreen ordered a cup of latte. This place is a great place to see the train as it is located at the 2nd floor of the supermarket next to the train station. We went out to the restaurant's balcony to see the train's coming.

Took a few hundreds of photos during the trip. Here are a few Cobcob's photos to share:
