After a trip to an art exhibit in Rosthern, 

we had a lovely lunch as well, (see the

b & w photos,). We crossed the mighty

North Saskatchewan River on the 

Wingard ferry which is free, holds up to 

six cars and is a trip of several minutes.

Viewing these photos I think of other

journeys.

"Imagine that you see the wretched 

strangers,

Their babies at their backs and their poor 

luggage,

Plodding to the ports and coasts for 

transportation,

And that you sit as kings in your desires . . .

What had you got? I’ll tell you: you had 

taught

How insolence and strong hand should 

prevail,

How order should be quelled; and by this 

pattern

Not one of you should live an aged man,

For other ruffians, as their fancies wrought,

With self same hand, self reasons, and self 

right,

Would shark on you, and men like 

ravenous fishes

Would feed on one another."
