Skinner's Pond PEI

In honour of the late "Stompin' Tom" Connors, here are some photos of the part of PEI where he spent many of his formative years, Skinner's Pond. These were taken on a trip in 2008, and while there isn't much to see in the Pond, Tom's spirit, and name, were literally everywhere you looked.
