Sunset Reflections by Paul Calle

Sunset Reflections by Paul Calle

 

Paul Calle, America's visual historian, recalls the days of the voyageur brigades, making their way tothe far-flung trading posts of the Hudson's Bay Company. Rhythmically paddling in time to the song, they journey on as the setting sun turns the water to liquid gold.

 

"Another song that rhythmically echoed across the lakes and rivers of that vast expanse was the sound of the accompanying waterfowl. The journals of that period described them as the constant companion of the voyageurs." - P. Calle
