Area of Zeacliff Pond that was open water 50 years ago, September 2008

This is the near the south end of the pond and 50 years ago this was open water a foot, or so, deep. It is now muskeg with a combination of a few species of sedge, some viburnum and sphagnum moss as in the photo above. It is comparatively dry compared with the area closer to the pond outlet two photos down.
