Paris - Penman's Dam

November: water flowing over Penman's Dam in Paris, Ontario. (Photo by Jonathan Webster)

Paris is as close to a 'home away from home' to me as any place could be; I went to high school, my closest friend lives there so I'm always dropping in. I did a piece on the Cambridge to Paris rail trail this year for class, and took this picture of Penman's Dam on the Paris end of the trail. The curvature of the dam makes for a perfect leading line through the photo, with the water rushing from the damn creating a good sense of motion.
