To Cape Breton I

Had a peek of the Maritimes taking Via Rail at Toronto, out at Truro then Acadien Lines to Sydney, NS. Oh man I can live there and eat fish everyday and meat on the weekends. Talk about simplifying your lifestyle to the basics and just photograph the scenery to your heart's content, it'll take at least a lifetime to cover the whole of Cape Breton.




At the water's edge. I had to scramble down 30 ft from the parking area to get to this spot and free climbed my way back. Severe erosion and slippery rocks but it was worthwhile. Now on a good cloudy sunrise at the right time of the year when the sun is visible and in front of my leading line, it would be fantastic!




Part of the game plan of this trip was to get as much background shots for my portait composites and I managed to do that. The fortress was a trove of background scenes and I'm happy with it.




Louisbourg fortress maids in a row.




I think this is a good candidate for Lith printing. I don't know when I'll get to that but I have something to look forward to when I get my hands on "snatch and grab" printing.




All in for Sardines!







Mondrian much?
