Giving Shelter: Historic Barns of the Eastern Townships was among the films featured at this year's Eastern Townships Film Festival, which was held in four locations in Knowlton and Sutton. Louise Abbott and Niels Jensen, the co-producers, were on hand at the screening  at 3 p.m. on August 17, 2013, in Knowlton at the local radio station theatre on Main Street.

Niels Jensen designed and built this stunning bedroom set in tiger maple for a client in the Eastern Townships in early July. He is now working on the creation of office furniture for a new dental clinic in the region.

Louise Abbott was one of three people interviewed on June 25, 2012, by Jacquie Czernin of CBC Radio's "Breakaway" program about the beautiful nineteenth-century-style high-drive barn that was built on a historic farm known as Beechwood, outside of Georgeville.

Here's the interview!

On a trip to Georgian Bay in early May, Niels Jensen was delighted to discover this family of geese. He stood at a distance of about 75 yards so as not to disturb them but was able to get this intimate portrait with a Sony 70-to-200 zoom lens on his Alpha 77 camera.
