Was back 'home' recently for a visit and some sight seeing.

1. Cape d'Or, located on the shore of the Bay of Fundy. The name is from the early French explorers who saw what they thought was gold gleaming in the cliffs along the shore. The gold turned out to be copper.

2. Lunenburg, located on the western side of Mahone Bay. It was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995.

3. Many of the buildings in the town of Lunenburg are distinct in their paint/colour schemes.

4. Not far from Lunenburg is the town of Mahone Bay, famous for the three churches which sit side by side. (Anglican, Lutheran and United)

5. Blue Rocks is a small fishing village located outside of Lunenburg. The name is derived from the bluish colour of the rocky shore.

Very nice, they remind me of a four week shoot I once had on Cape Breton Island

Thanks very much for viewing and commenting. Cape Breton is reputed to be very much like the Highlands of Scotland and there is s strong movement to preserve the Gaelic language and culture, including Colaisde na Gàidhlig, the Gaelic College.

That was why I was actually there. I believe the language is more alive there than here in scotland
