Such a beautiful collection of photographs from the 1000 Islands. I am partial to Thousand Island Park because our family has enjoyed the river there for over 40 years now. Just a blip in the timeline, but long enough to feel the history and know how lucky we are. Thanks Tom for putting this together!
