in the north

This photo is 100 years old.
It was snapped by my grandfather in the Peace River area of Northern Alberta where he homesteaded for a time.
I can't help but think what a treasure this photo would be to the family of this mother and child, to their great great grandchildren.
How amazing it would be to gaze intently into the serene face of the woman and perhaps see a shadow of yourself.
To admire the clothes of the little child, so beautifully decorated.
And have a window into your ancestors everyday life in the north 100 years ago.
