Where the Rubber Hits the Road

Here's the latest offering from my friend, George Weigel. He writes about his current project (which he is putting together with his son Stephen - an outstanding photographer) which is to be published in various formats within the next year or two. Companions On the Road to Easter | First Things

I thank my friend Stephen Weigel for the tip to this wonderful Canadian short film. Stephen is himself an up & coming photographer who hails from Maryland, USA. If today you need a 4+ minute break to take in some peace and beauty to refresh the soul, I would affirm that this video ranks up there with stepping out into a warm Caribbean morning in the depths of a Canadian winter.

Stephen Weigel, son of George & Joan Weigel, was kind enough to take some pictures while taking a tour on the Ottawa River, including this shot of my cottage. Stephen is a professional photographer who is well on his way of eclipsing his father's fame (George is a noted author, biographer of Pope John Paul II and NBC religion commentator) with his spectacular shots. Next year, Stephen will be producing a multi-media project of Churches and Chapels in Rome. It will include two versions of a book and a DVD. His Facebook page (Stephen Weigel Photography) offers a few albums of his recent work in Canada and the USA. Thank you Stephen for this gift. It helps to make clear why I so deeply appreciate my little piece of 'heaven on earth' as this photo captures the essence of the peace, quiet and isolation that my humble little cottage offers me.
