Some of his descendants are classified as American Indians, and still use some Welsh words. It is claimed a Welsh missionary in the 1800s was able to communicate with them. And the Indians had blue eyes. So must have been true....Aled Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14373901334870700620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33338421.post-26186695475775755652011-04-12T16:59:14.848-04:002011-04-12T16:59:14.848-04:00Ah yes...

I actually didn't know the Welsh connection for that word, so thanks for that!<br /><br />There is a Madoc, Ontario, a bit farther east from here - that's the only one that jumps to mind, but there are probably others. There is a "Swansea" neighbourhood in Toronto though.<br /><br />Most of the barn roofs around here are either red, or plain corrugated sheet metal with varying amounts of rust.Richard Wintlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14644765072275026087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33338421.post-6692857918617277632011-04-12T12:23:44.685-04:002011-04-12T12:23:44.685-04:00Excellent Ricardipus!

I traveled a few of those roads N of Toronto (the road to Meaford and Owen Sound comes to mind), some through Dufferin County (named after some Welsh man - Dyffryn in Welsh is Valley, but you knew that...). Never saw any other Welsh names though. I found a lot of those places to be similar in architecture, but I thought they were Scandinavian. In Sweden in particular, most barns were painted red, using earth materials, but the 'rich' painted them yellow as they could afford paint.Aled Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14373901334870700620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33338421.post-4671539266793576742011-04-08T10:40:55.929-04:002011-04-08T10:40:55.929-04:00Cheers! ???Cheers! ???Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11346682505354790114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33338421.post-4735438946704933332011-04-07T13:07:17.473-04:002011-04-07T13:07:17.473-04:00I forgot to list the details of aperture, exposure...I forgot to list the details of aperture, exposure time, ISO and focal length (for the 55-300mm shot).
