A glimpse of Nova Scotia

Baddeck, situated in the centre of Cape Breton, Canada, may only be a small village but it sports this super little lighthouse and also the Alexandra Graham Bell museum. I was captivated by this lonely view.

This was to be the furthest north we cruised as we docked in nearby Sydney and then a 2000 mile return cruise to Cape Canaveral, Florida.

I don't really like cutting pictures in two with the horizon but the cloud scape here was so dramatic that I decided to leave it in. Please forgive me.

Enjoy full screen on this festive weekend.

Hello Leopold. There cannot be that many people from Europe who have been there. Amazing that you should have stopped there at that Inn. We enjoyed the museum and the countryside here. Thanks for the call.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you. Herb

I like your composition here Herb.............and anyway, I don't think there was an alternative, as you wanted the cloudscape...........and I can see why, it's really lovely!

Think the light is gorgeous, especially where it's reflected off the calm waters. Beautifully captured sir!

Yes, there was really no other alternative here. This was the shot as you too recognise. The light was very nice at this moment. We had rain an hour or so later.

Thanks for your generous comment as always.

Thanks Gordon. I think about composition rules a lot but they are made to be broken too. Glad you liked this one, as always as it’s a grand landscape that we both love.

I wish you all the very best too, Herb
