Maple Syrup from Canada

20150811_065352

Last spring I was contacted by a company in Canada that wanted to use a photo of a culvert with a bunch of flood water running through it that I had taken in Corvallis a few years ago.  They asked me how much I wanted for permission to let them use the photo in some of their PR.  Rather than money, I asked for a case of pure 100% maple syrup.  Best. Decision. Ever.
