Disappearing

These charming buckets are disappearing. Maple syrup boilers now prefer using the plastic tubing to collect the sap.
This is my second posting about sap collecting, this time with snow.

I am surprised that the syrup would flow in the cold weather. Nice to see how it's done.

[Peter Dulis]

sweet - in more ways than one :)

[Milanie]

interesting to see it in the snow

[Chris Cook]

Old ways are disappearing everywhere. Wonderful capture for posterity.

Lovely chilly looking shot and so interesting with the buckets collecting sap.

[Dave]

Beautiful scene.

[Diana]

Both stunning captures Corinne, so different but just as beautiful.

[Joan Robillard]

Good shot

[Brooke Lindsay]

Fascinating! I vaguely remember buckets like from a field trip back when I was in elementary school!

[Fisher Family]

Interesting to see the traditional method of syrup collecting. A nice scene. Lovely textures in the snow.

Lovely photo and traditions

[Margaret Brown]

A nice traditional capture of the way sap is collected

[Kathy]

Interesting subject. I also like the long shadows caused by the bright light with the trees on the top of the hill.

Great to see

[Rob Z]

It seems a shame - the tins have so much character...

[KV]

Yep… the buckets have a terrific look… can’t imagine the plastic tubing though I’d imagine it might be more efficient.

[Babs]

Nothing stays the same does it.

[Renee Salamon]

Great shot - I remember ‘sugaring off’ season when I lived in Quebec - they were using taps I think back in the 70s

[Carole Sandford]

Everything changes, perhaps not for the better always.

[Mags]

Beautiful image and capture of the old tradition.

[Annie-Sue]

sad march of progress - but lovely winter image

[Kerry McCarthy]

Pretty shot. I imagine the plastic tubing is more efficient but I prefer the aesthetics of this way.

[Shutterbug]

I like this better than plastic tubing, but I can empathize with the people that harvest the syrup. We are always looking for ways to make our lives easier and improve operations.

Lovely snow scene.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

It sure is easier with the tubing but it's definitely not as photogenic. Nice shot!

[Corinne]

Je n’en ai jamais vu ! C’est drôle !

[Valerie Chesney]

this is gorgeous with the snow & the shadows!

[Jane Pittenger]

I’m drooling in anticipation

[Issi Bannerman]

Nice to see the buckets.

[Boxplayer]

Again the sunshine is lovely

[Peter]

How interesting a beautifully captured image Corrine telling a story, Fav:)

[Dione Giorgio]

Gorgeous 'winter' scene. Lovely virgin white snow and shadows. The buckets should look much nicer than plastic tubing.

[Jeremy Cross]

Lovely light

[Krista Marson]

as long as the syrup keeps flowing. I keep reading how climate change is affecting the production

[william wooderson]

Gosh. How interesting to see. And it makes for a slightly surreal image! Fav.

[Helene]

très orginal... pour une parisienne !

[Beth]

Oh so impressive, beautiful composition and clarity fav
