Fall foliage sunset

New Cumberland, NS

A gorgeous end to a fine Fall day.  That's an old steam powered shingle mill in the distance.

Kingsburg: Apples and Ash

Kingsburg, NS
Sept. 12, 2013

A sunset shot on the way back from the beach.  My old pal, American Mountain Ash hanging out beside some apple trees.  Fall is on its way, WAAAAH!

A Windy Hirtle's Beach Sunset

Hirtle's Beach, NS
Sept. 12, 2013

A fruitless trip to the beach in search of waves, but I managed to get a cool shot of the low hanging clouds and wind on Romkey Pond.  It's all about balance, right?

Interesting light on this 'spaceship of a cloud' spotted at sunset.  

I love the light blue against the pink and darker blue/grey in the background.

Ridiculous Riverport Sunset

Riverport, NS
July 3, 2013

Somebody pinch me.  Yet another reward for fishing just before dusk, a sunset view up the Lahave river that looks unreal.  Soak it in.

Kingsburg Setting Sun

Upper Kingsburg, NS
May 27, 2013

A snap of last night's gorgeous sunset.  The sun was casting warm light in Kingsburg.  Lovely illumination of the clouds heading north towards Rose Bay.

Heyy, I thought this was Riverport, not Rose Bay!

Shot on the way out to the wharf to catch some mackerel.  

I didn't realize the water caught so much of the setting sun.  I tried to turn the highlights down so the sky wasn't so blown out.  Some day I'll learn how to do masked levels adjustments...

The Big Ex at Night

The Big Ex

After a riveting evening of watching miniature pony races, I snapped this shot from the stands before leaving the exhibition grounds.  

My favourite fish and chips stand is in the foreground: Italy Cross and Middlewood Fire Department!

Iceland: June 29, 11 pm

Reykjavik, Iceland
June 29, 2012
11 pm local time

This is what 11 pm looked like wayyyy up north in Iceland on June 29th.  Barely a week after the longest day of the year, sunset is a relative term.

Technically, the sun set ~midnight that day and rose at ~ 3 am.  In between those hours, there was enough daylight to read a paper outdoors!

A sleeping mask was a must, I noticed many apartments with tinfoil in the windows.  I'm assuming it was used to block out the daylight.  Perhaps there are some people trying to block HAARP  signals or mind control rays as well?  

I'm so glad we got to experience continuous daylight as a part of our trip.  By the end of our journey, it was starting to fry my brain a little bit.  Our first night back in Nova Scotia came with a welcome sunset and them beautiful stars in the sky.

Scotland: Leverburgh Sunset

Isle of Harris, Scotland
June 25, 2012

It was hard to take a poor shot of the sunset that evening in the Outer Hebrides. The sky turned a gorgeous shade of pink as we kept snapping shot after shot.

I'm unclear if I was in Strond or Leverburgh.  I was staying here with friends who had just been married the day before.  It is located on the Southern coast of the Isle of Harris. 

Harris is known for it's gorgeous beaches, with their white quartz sand and turquoise waters.  Stunning is an understatement.   The Blacksheep House was an incredible venue for a wedding.  Much swankier than the historic blackhouses we visited later in our trip.  This one was not filled with acrid peat smoke which was nice.

Stay tuned for more shots from our trip to Scotland and Iceland

I'm delighted, though technically I'm not a sailor...

Spotted in Riverport last night, looking up the LaHave River.  Neat line reflection in the foreground, didn't notice it at the time.

Romkey Pond and the Setting Sun


Looking towards Romkey Pond, you can see a wee sliver of the pond in the distance. Shot Monday evening, at the end of a gorgeous day.

Frank's Automotive Setting Sun



Hope I don't cause panic with the title.

Rest easy folks, Frank's Automotive (aka Frank's Shell) is not closing....just caught this nice sunset shot from their parking lot on Friday.
