New school

At the time, I didn't think this would be my favourite shot of the set, I was wrong.

L'burg curling club on the left, community centre on the right, and the new school under construction in the middle. My hat goes off to the construction crew, they worked right through that recent bitter cold snap...handling metal. Brrrr...

'Sup? J.J., my friends' gorgeous Canadian (crossed with....can't recall) checking me out at their farm last weekend.

Meanwhile in Lunenburg...

This road is somewhat hidden, it makes for a nice walk at lunch. Nice to have these woods to walk through, always lots of deer hiding out down in the gulley at the bottom of the hill.

Here's a grayscale conversion of the same shot, which one do you prefer?

New school and old school

The Lunenburg Academy can be seen in the distance, while the new high school can be seen in the foreground, under construction.

They have made a lot of progress since I took this picture, more shots to follow...

Mmm, puddin'!

Spotted at the Lunenburg Slave Easy, dropping off a shipment of that delicious Lunenburg Sausage and puddin'. People seem to hate L'burg pudding, but I love the stuff!

I hope people keep painting houses this colour

This house makes me smile. It will be a sad day for me when most houses are painted in historic/colonial colour schemes. Boooring.

Bring back aqua, pink and kelly green house colours! ^_^ Stay tuned for more local examples of fun house colours in the following weeks.

Broad Cove Hall - kitchen detail 2

Another close up shot from the kitchen in the Broad Cove hall. Love those salt shakers! It looks like there's more rice than salt in that plastic one. ^_^

Saturday night at 'the hall'

Walls and ceilings clad in wood, antique light fixtures hanging from the ceiling, votive candles on the tables, ....and the sweet sounds of Klarka's voice filling the room.

Saturday's show at the Broad Cove Hall was a welcome respite from the winter blahs.

Coyotes in the Commons was my favourite song from her set, have a listen here.

Broad Cove Hall - kitchen detail

A close up shot of some tea cups in the kitchen at the Broad Cove Hall.

Can't get enough of that wonderful Duff....st.

I love looking at this collection of.....trash(?) on my walks during the lunch hour. I finally mustered the nerve to take a picture of it.

Every now and then I see a guy in there...stripping insulation off copper wiring, hoarding propane bbq's.

Broad Cove Hall - the kitchen

I went to a great show at the hall Saturday night. Baby Eagles, Klarka Weinwurm and Shotgun Jimmie entertained 40+ people that night. After the show, I ventured upstairs...

Lovely Lahave

A great end to new year's day, love those clouds!

I need that like a hole in the roof

It's like a scary dollhouse! More shots of this gem to follow later this week.

Needs some TLC...

I love how the wooden shingles on this roof are disintegrating.

More shots of rotting buildings will be up on the 'ole blog later this week....stay tuned!
