Exploring Meaford - Memorial Park
I'm gradually getting out on some of the walks around Meaford, trying to find the best places to go for a walk locally. Today I tried Memorial Park, on the shoreline at the east end of town. It's a short walk, but I think it will be a favourite because it's right along the shore of the bay.
A panoramic shot with my iphone gives a very distorted picture, but it does capture the view from the shore. It's a gentle shoreline where the waves can wash right in, but it's more round cobbles than sand. And the sound of the water is mesmerizing.
Looking east you come to private property, marked by the line of rocks, but you can see a lot of Georgian Bay in the distance.
Looking west, back toward town, you can see the Bayview Escarpment in the distance, and toward the right of the far shoreline, the Meaford Tank Range, another story I need to delve into.
Part of the walk along the shoreline at Memorial Park is on a concrete retaining wall in front of some campsites. You can look down on the water boiling over the rocks below.
I think I could try forever to get the perfect pictures of waves rolling in.

Stunning scenery and photos. Greetings to you.
ReplyDeleteThere is something primordial about the sound of the water like that, FG. Love it.
ReplyDeleteI think the round cobbles would give those waves a nice swisssssshhhing sound
ReplyDeleteLove when the waves toll into shore from the bay, I can almost here therm.
ReplyDeleteWatching the waves roll in can be soooo relaxing.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a nice place to enjoy a walk.
ReplyDeleteIt is so long since I heard waves rolling in, lovely to see them and hear them again.
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed by the phone's panoramic feature as it's managed to come up with a flat horizon, something that doesn't happen usually unless the horizon runs through the centre of the photo. Watching the waves is a favourite pastime of mine when I visit the coast.
ReplyDeleteHello, pretty views of the park and bay. The sounds of the waves is so peaceful. Happy Sunday, enjoy your day and the new week ahead!
ReplyDeletegorgeous, i love water images. we are in the car traveling and i could not view the video. i will have to come back as i would love to see it!!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you are finding your niche in Meaford. Lots of new places to explore, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteWhen you mentioned campsites it sounded like our seawalk that passes in front of the campground in Powell River. It's a beautiful trail that includes old logging equipment displays. - Margy
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! The water looks wild.
ReplyDeleteSure looks like a great place for taking a walk.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason my computer wouldn't let me see the video.
When my first husband was in the military, he frequently went on training exercises in Meaford. One of my cousins, also a military guy, loved it so much there he moved the family there for some years.
ReplyDeleteI loved the sounds on the video...could have enjoyed that alone. I would love some of those rocks in the one picture...to go in my yard.
ReplyDeleteThe park sure looks like a winner to me. I can see a lot of active water and it looks windy and cold. I know that I take shots and the camera never really captures it to look as fantastic as the view really is
ReplyDeleteAnother fine post with that incredible sea foam. :-)
ReplyDeleteI can almost hear your waves! People can actually mark off their shoreland with rocks? here in Minnesota the land is yours only to the waters edge, it must be different there:)
ReplyDeleteYup, living near water is a MUST in my book
