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.

Ferry staffer hard at work fixing the lights.  I hope he was adding more red mood lights!

The First Five Years: Book Launch

 Middle Lahave, NS

April 22, 2013

The sky was full of gorgeous clouds and the air was warm this past Sunday as we made our way to Nancy Tracey's book launch at the gorgeous St. Mark's Place.  Anyone who's driven down Route 332 in Lunenburg County will instantly recognize this iconic structure.

Once we made our way inside to the packed space, we were treated to songs by Nancy's husband Gregg Tracey, an accomplished local print maker and luthier.  As you can see, the renovation effort on St. Mark's both inside and out spared no expense.  It is truly an amazing space:

Nancy gave a very interesting talk about the topics covered in her book, The First Five Years.  If you are interested in early childhood development, I highly recommend picking up a copy.

After numerous cups of delicious coffee and as many great chats, we made our way to the equally excellent variety supper in First South.  Stay tuned for pics from that event!

House Show: Rachael Cardiello and James Burrows

Lahave, NS

Oct. 23, 2012

Soft light, warm voices and bare feet were the themes of this excellent house show I attended last October.  

Rachel was kind enough to help me stack my firewood in the barn, thanks Rachel!  Check out her myspace page and the Warm Electric Winter page for more great tunes.

Here's a video I found 'on to the interwebz' of the Lahave house show, go figger:

Lahave: Pay Phone

Lahave, NS

Nov. 12, 2012

A dying breed, take a good look at this pay phone....it's getting harder and harder to find 'em.

As this recent article pointed out, all it takes is an extended power outage to remind us of the importance of  this 'archaic technology'.

Must get a shot of this one at night, while the sign still lights up!

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.

Now that's my kind of lawn!

Why would anyone rather have a lawn full of grass that needs to be mowed, when it could look like THIS!?!  Well, at least in early May ^_^  


Spotted somewhere in Middle LaHave, on da east sigh-EED of the rivah!

Put a smile on my face

This group of kids were having fun in Lahave this past weekend. It looked like a prank straight out of Just for Laughs Gags.

First, they would mime holding an invisible rope across the highway, pulling it taught:

Then, as the car would approach, they would lift the invisible rope up high so the car could 'limbo' underneath it.

It made me laugh as I drove past them. ^_^

The mouth of the Lahave

Looking across the Lahave river from the bakery parking lot, Riverport can be seen in the distance.

Glorious Lahave

I pulled over a couple seconds too late....still happy with how this one turned out. Shot from the East bank of the Lahave River, looking back at Lahave.

Lahave ferry crossing video

Stumbled upon this short video of a crossing of the Lahave River via our beloved cable ferry.

psst, only tourists pay $5.25 to cross, those 'in the know' buy a book of 10 tickets for ~$12

Skipping across the ferry

Sunday afternoon, returning to the east side of the Lahave.

Lovely light as the ferry emerged from the shadows....and this father and daughter scene.

'Nuff said.

Sunny Lahave Crossing

Just another gorgeous day on the Lahave Ferry, in search of waves. Sadly, none were found that day....

Just another gorgeous sunset on the Lahave

That is all.

The drive home...

Saturday evening on the Lahave.
As Stephen Wright would say, "nice night for an evening."

Drizmal Lahave

My eye was drawn to the 'atmospheric perspective' looking up the river. A thousand shades of May, I mean grey.

Dark sense of forboding

This picture (shot last Saturday on the Lahave River) sums up the collective cloud of melancholy that is hanging over myself and my friends after last night's election results.

ALL HAIL EMPEROR PALPATINE! ...err, I mean Harper.

To paraphrase the Bhagavad Gītā, "Now, he is become death, the destroyer of Canada."

Lovely Lahave

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

Old and new

The 'ole Lahave II ferry can be seen in the reflection of the window on the new 'n' shiny Brady E. Himmelman ferry.
