slow/water
Most of the time in Nova Scotia we stayed as close to the ocean as we could get. Like many people who grew up on the Plains, I am most comfortable when I can see a long horizon in front of me. Oceans provide this, of course, and also add in some foreground scenery that’s definitely not what I am used to seeing below a horizon line.
One day we decided to head toward the middle, away from the ocean. And that’s how we happened up on this little piece of the Mersey River.

in front of all this beauty
A lighthouse up the hill behind me, and the north Atlantic way down there, shrouded in the fog. It was lovely.

Buoyed
One of the best trips I’ve been on was this one, two weeks in Nova Scotia. I’d happily return any time.
I was shooting for a specific project at the time, and never really posted anything else from the trip. And I’ve gotten a little weary of all the Texas and New Mexico stuff I’ve been posting, so here’s a short pivot north. This particular scene includes a lot of things I’m not used to shooting: oceans, rain, fishing shacks, buoys, boats. Oh, and trees and hills.

Without a net
It’s weird how these things start: you see a lonely basketball goal and make a photograph. Then you see it again from a different angle and make another photo. Then you start to notice more and more and more and more and more of them and before you know it. there’s a gallery of sad basketball goals.
