Description
The Backus Mill was completed and in operation in 1798 near Port Rowan, Ontario, Canada. It was just about the only building left standing in the area during the war of 1812-14 and remained an operating business in the Backus (Backhouse) family until 1955. It is now part of a Heritage Conservation Area and still is operational for demonstration and educational purposes. This internal combustion engine, which used hot tube ignition, was installed in 1885 as an alternative power source.

Peggy King replied:
Thank you Marion, Hanne and Jayne for your gracious comments... they are most appreciated. I am somewhat of a gypsy and not always able to keep up to activities it seems, so I must apologize for not replying to some earlier.

I'm back to give this gorgeous capture more support, Peggy. I just love the two light sources that produce the warm and cool color contrasts! L/F/T/G+

The light and shadow give this image a wonderful nostalgic mood. Well done, Peggy! Marion
