Coastal Nova Scotia
Leaving Halifax for the southern Atlantic coast I came across many picturesque towns hugging the rugged shore. Tough weather but sort of seemed appropriate for the setting. The weather has led to various shipwrecks and other disasters over the years. Two are noted below, as well as of course, the Titanic which happened near here.
On a lighter note, I ended up the day in beautiful Lunenburg. This town is so wonderful and so historic that the entire town is a Unesco world heritage site. And very deservedly so. And, as a special treat, the rains subsided and I was able to walk around easily.
Absolutely incredible Dan! I had no idea Nova Scotia was so colorful. I appreciate all the historical notes about your travels too. Keep up the great blogging – you’re making us all want to travel to these beautiful places!
Looks like a place this pluviophile needs to add to her list (All those groovy colors really pop with silver skies).
Great pictures, Danny. The province of Nova Scotia is famous for its high tides, lobster, fish, blueberries, and apples. It is also known for an unusually high rate of shipwrecks on Sable Island. Continue exploring and have fun!
Cape Breton and Nova Scotia are also famous for their traditional music scene. I hope you got to see some good fiddlin’. Some really great pictures Dan!
Jon: I did! Great place called the Red Shoe in Mabou. Celtic duo that were really nice. Very big draw in that area of Cape Breton Island due to the historical heritage of the settlers there.
