From its connection to the iconic Horseshoe Bend to the formation of the Horse Shoe Bend Auto Club, Page became a hub for hot rodders who turned desert roads into drag strips.

Description: At the end of the day in Bayfield, Ontario, a favourite pastime is to watch the setting Sun. Almost any vantage point along the cliff above the lake will see people gathering to watch the spectacle. Of course not all sunsets are the same, which is what brings the crowds back time after time. This one occurred on a completely cloudless evening, with the Sun setting over an almost completely calm lake. The incredibly rich red tones flooded across the sky as the Sun said its goodbye.
