Unsafe Harbour

Why yes, random sign. I concur that the harbor does appear to be dangerous. If the piles of stuff on the ground are any indication, anyway.

Back Yard

Here’s another image from Nova Scotia. It’s a pano, made from two images. Because why do something the easy way, when you can made it much more complicated?

Dérangement

I haven’t been out shooting new images much lately. Good thing I have a practically endless backlog of stuff* I never posted.

This is a pano, stitched together from four images, of an important historical location in Nova Scotia: it’s the place where first group of Acadians were deported by the British. That deportation, or le grand dérangement, lasted from 1755–1764. You may be familiar with the story from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s poem “Evangeline”, (and this is way less likely) from the 1929 silent film of the same name.

But anyway, we went to the place and wandered among the ghosts of families that were torn apart.

Spiders and Fog

Were you wondering if there are large spiders in Nova Scotia?

Yes. Yes, there are.

Lights frame the view

This place had been a church and had later been partially renovated by new owners. It seemed apparent that they’d run out of money and/or interest by the time we were there, but this little string of lights was keeping vigil.
