beautiful composition and clouds.
Some well-off locals here have a home in Ely, Minnesota, on the Canadian
border, and commute back and forth in their Beech KingAir 90. Though it
is also on the water, it was named for a mining executive, not its
namesake in England. I had to satisfy my curiosity about that.

That’ll be it, Jim. It’s a tiny site, with space for only 5 caravans.
Apparently there remain parts of the old monastery in the current house, but I
didn’t see any remains.

I searched for caravan sites near Ely, and Google identified it for me, about a

I had thought, until last weekend, that drainage of the Fens started in the
1600s, but in fact it started hundreds of years before.
