During a brief fifteen-minute period, when fog descended in Peggys Cove, I jumped up from dinner and fled back to this location scoped out earlier in the day. Location and light collided and provided perfection. It was as though I was photographing in a great big soft-box. The scene was idyllic but the quality of light made it so much more! It is always the elusive light that makes the difference between extraordinary and ordinary.

Nature created a great big soft-box. The scene was serene but the quality of light created this image and a few more. It is always the elusive light that makes the difference between extraordinary and ordinary. A curious tourist came onto the dock and bent down to see what I was doing squatting behind my tripod and camera… and was so awed by my vision that she purchased two images on the spot. She knew it was a magic moment!

The fog was so enticing at Indian Harbor. The color of the chairs, subdued by the fog, shed color on the grey scene

The blanket of fog made everywhere I focused my camera magic.

This boat has been photographed before…so appropriately named and positioned…but it was new to me when I saw it!

The lighthouse and dock seem to float in merged space of sea and sky. Everything is grey-toned…except that bright orange ball. Baddeck, in the heart of Cape Breton Island, is a picturesque village on the shores of BrasD’Or Lake. I was not the first person to fall in love with this place. Alexander Graham Bell and his family found Baddeck enchanting in 1865 and built their home here…and it was Mrs. Bell who introduced rug-hooking to the villagers…who became hooked… and that led to Chéticamp becoming the rug-hooking capital of the world.

The softness of the light was mesmerizing. The stillness, the calm, the solitude, the silence……

I had no idea it was an iconic image when a photographer friend brought me here. This classical constructed red and white lighthouse is operated by the Canadian Coast Guard and marks the eastern entrance of St. Margaret’s Bay and is a main attraction on the Lighthouse Trail. Sitting on granite

Every road opened onto a photogenic vista…and then air cleared to show bright light and crisp color of the charming little fisihing village of Boutilier’s Cove

Around the bend from Peggy’s Cove we came upon this colorful dock and have not yet been able to identify its name. Perhaps someone who see this image will identify it for me.

I have always been intrigued by reflections…perhaps because I was once a painter

It was such a surprise to find this charming antique shop along the Cabot Trail at Margaree Forks. While it houses an extensive collection of art and antiques treasures, it is a photographic treasure as well.

The Cabot Trail was richly covered with Nature’s carpet of wildflowers

The luminescence of light on the grassy field with the two buildings was perfect

Chéticamp, once a popular tourist spot and known as the rug-hooking captital of the world, is in economic decline. Except for this row of three houses, everything about Chéticamp looked tired and worn. Chéticamp once was fishing station inhabited by the Acadians and many of them still live here. I knocked on the doors of these houses to ask for the car blocking my photograph to be moved and wound up having a very interesting conversation with an owner, who maintained the house her father had been born and lived in. She and her partner worked on the Canadian pipeline during the winter to earn money to keep the house in Chéticamp. It was one of those chance meetings that turned into something truly magical.
