Nova Scotia

The Cove on an overcast day seem gloomy to some, but pure beauty to another.  I took this photo at the Dingo in Armdale;  it was one of my favorite places to play with my cousins and friends.  So many wonderful memories of Nova Scotia.

While in Halifax, Ed and I toured Alexander Keifh's brewery.

The guides dressed in character and told the history of the brewery.  They were entertaining and wonderful singers.

Yes, Ed is in his happy place.

These photos are the Blue Rock area, outside of Lunenburg.

I enjoy taking photos at low tide; so much of the waters  mysteries are revealed.

Resting boats after a day of fishing and sailing.

Low tide of a fishing community.

The coast of Nova Scotia is peaceful pictures like this one.

I believe this rack is for drying fish.

As the tide goes out, it gently rests the boats.

This sign totem was in a yard.  It was quite interesting.

Ed and I were fortunate to attend the relaunch of the Bluenose II in Lunenburg.  We are forever grateful to my childhood friend Shirley, and her husband Bill.  They told us about the launch; Bill happens to work at Clear Water Seafood, we were able to watch the launch from one of the large fishing ships.

This is a photo of Lunenburg from the pier.

A golf course across the harbor from Lunenburg.

Lunenburg is known for the vibrant colored buildings.  This is one of many; most of the buildings are shops and restaurants.

The launch of the Bluenose was exciting.  She was towed as the masts weren't in place, that would happen later.The weather did not cooperate that day.

The harbor was full of boats.
