Title: Aerial View of Point Pelee / Vue aérienne de la Pointe-Pelée
Title (Fre): Vue aérienne de la Pointe-Pelée
Date: ca 1941
Description: Black and white aerial view of Point Pelee in Leamington; farmland, trees and beach areas are all visible in the photograph; the land is jutting out in a triangular shape into Lake Erie which occupies three sides of the photograph
History: Shore currents are strong and dangerous in the vicinity of Point Pelee. The shape and position of the point are continually changing under the influence of erosion. Shifting winds are responsible for the building up of first one side and then the other of this most southerly point of the Canadian mainland. A considerable portion of Point Pelee National Park, which embraces much of the peninsula, is of almost pure sand structure.
Place made: Canada - Ontario - Windsor
