The land here rises gently from the riverbanks, a mosaic of well-tended fields and stands of spruce and pine, their dark green a stark contrast to the pale, often cloud-brushed sky. In the hush of late afternoon, the light can be liquid gold, pooling in the hollows of the terrain and illuminating the weathered clapboard of houses nestled amongst mature trees.
