Opposite Sides, Still
The French and British haven’t always gotten along so well in Nova Scotia, so spotting the English cucumber sign on the opposite side from the Tour de New France poster sort of made my day.

The Morning Came to Tell of Silences
The fog seemed determined to stay around that day, and we couldn’t see across the water at the Petit Passage, which divided the Digby Necks.
It was very quiet.
Except for the foghorn

God’s Robes
I can get distracted thinking about what goes on behind the scenes, for Mass, for dinner, for a car repair. It doesn’t really matter what it is, I just always wonder about the how of it all.
So I was pretty happy to discover God’s robes in a small room off the sanctuary of this Nova Scotian church.

Upon Row
Above-ground tombs like this are always a sign of a high water table. Or a low elevation. The camera’s GPS says the elevation of this place is 39.4 feet, which is actually relatively high for this part of Louisiana; there were many places that had elevations in the negative numbers.
It was a lovely cemetery, nicely kept with new white paint on rows and rows of markers.

Local Industry
Sugarcane – that’s what was growing in the fields south of New Orleans.
But we didn’t figure that out until we got to Raceland and turned off the main road to see if we could figure out the source of that white smoke (or steam?). Turns out it was coming from the sugarcane mill.
