Sitting on a small hill along the “Old River Road” just outside of the village of Ompah, this old settler’s cabin was built around the turn of the century from rough-hewn logs. The cabin is actually dug into the hill it rests upon, with the bottom part of the cabin submerged below ground level. With the main living section below ground level, it was well insulated, making the cabin cool in the summer and easier to keep warm in the winter. It was a bit of a cloudy day, with a light wind rustling through the trees and grass, and the sun dodging in and out of the clouds. While waiting for the sun to come out, I became reflective and imagined the ghosts of generations of families who had lived here over the years. Ompah is a small village about an hour north of Perth, Ontario located in the township of North Frontenac.
