Then (c 1900): View to the south from near the top of Chemin Lamarche. Lake Memphremagog, Province Island and Teatable Island are visible. The empty field at the shoreline is where Weir Park, the public dock and Ogden Town Hall are now. The two girls sitting on the fence, with their backs to the camera, are sisters Beatrice and Winnifred Weir. Photo taken by Douglas Weir, provided by the Simpson family.


Now (July 2017): View from the same location, but taken with a drone to get above the forest that has, over time, replaced the fields. It is unclear why the islands appear elongated in the "before" photo, when everything else seems to be in the correct proportion. DJI Phantom 3, summer, 2017.
