Grandpa Bowers monitors the maple sap boiling in the evaporator as his grandson watches through the mist. His father who is now 94, built the classic Vermont maple sugar shack back in 1954, while his son is outside collecting the raw maple tree sap from the family land. Four generations of Bowers men involved in producing this authentic, natural, sweet liquid gold - pure Vermont Maple syrup. Hartland Four Corners, Vermont, March 2013.

Really compelling image, I am fascinated by the almost obscured youngster through the mist - he could be a boy from today or a ghost from the past.
Edward Fielding replied:
Processing this image I forgot he was there and then he appeared on close inspection. Thanks - it really was something that four generations were working on this batch.
