Fascinating Fotos

Subject:  Unknown

Source:  Old Family Album, originally owned by one of my great great aunts - either Esther Ann Martin Murray (b.1898 d. 1989), or Mary Sarah Theresa Ena Lena Martin Bethune (b. 1902 d.1988).   

Date:  Album was filled with photos of WW1 soldiers, 1915-1917.

Hints:

1. The topography obviously suggests its in the north, so I'd say it was likely taken around Cache Bay, or Markstay (Sudbury).
2. The flowers (correct me if I'm wrong) appear to be mostly water lillies.  That would suggest a body of water that is generally shallow.
3. Why so many flowers?  It could be that this gentleman is just a romantic, bringing flowers to his lady.   Or there may be a more practical purpose.  Water lilies (nymphaea odorata) are often used in traditional Native American remedies.

Who ever he is, he looks like quite the romantic.
