Photo of the Week #69

Last fall, on my way home from the east coast, I stopped at The Bay of Fundy to a place called Alma, New Brunswick. It is so fascinating to watch how whole harbours drain, leaving boats sitting on the ocean floor. Tides here are about 40 feet............twice a day!

Peggy's Cove, one of my favorite and most visited places in Nova Scotia for me. Besides the lighthouse, a pretty decent restaurant and the harboour itself, I think the best part is just sitting and watching the waves crash in on the rocks. The fresh sea air smells great too. No matter how crowded it is, you can always find a spot to sit and relax and enjoy the sea for a bit. I've lost track of how many times i've visited, but I can still find some new ways to "see" this wonderful place.

I love the sea for a lot of reasons, and a rugged, rocky coastline is about the best for me. This is a shot made on The Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland. The coastline of Scotland is particularly beautiful to me and certainly provides that rugged beauty. It isn't hard to believe that at one time, Scotland may have been attached to eastern Canada as the terrain is pretty similar.

One of the most fascinating things in photography to me is light and shadow. After all, photography is mostly about light in the first place. I love an image with mood and drama. This is a photo made in Scotland on the shores of Loch Alsh. The weather there is a photographer's dream with clouds, mist and plenty of interesting light.

Photo of the Week #65

Another long exposure of moving water. This is a stream we followed through the Cape Breton interior on the way to a waterfall. I loved how the light was coming through the canopy to hit just part of this frame.
