More Maritimes Scenes

Today’s post includes the remainder of my favourite photographs from a recent trip to Canada’s East Coast. It’s a mixture of scenes from New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island, two of our Maritime Provinces.

The first picture was taken at Dipper Harbour, located near St. John, New Brunswick on the Bay of Fundy. It depicts an old wharf, captured at low tide. The wharf doesn’t appear serviceable, but is evidently being used for storage of some lobster pots.

This rocky stretch of coastline was photographed at Chance Harbour, also located along the Fundy Coast of New Brunswick.

This more urban scene was photographed in Fredericton, New Brunswick’s capital city. The building is the New Brunswick Legislature, dating back to 1880.

If there is one thing that many of these pictures have in common is cloudy skies. Although the temperatures were pleasant, we didn’t get a lot of sunshine in the course of our east coast visit.

One notable exception was this photograph, taken near the village of Saint André in northern New Brunswick. This rural church, known as l’Église de la Petite Montagne is situated on Comeau Ridge, amid the rolling hills of the verdant farm country not far from Rolande’s home town of Grand Falls.

The Town of Grand Falls is known for its waterfall, which I experienced and photographed while it flowed near its annual peak. This is but one of many photographs I took, trying to best capture the power and and scenic beauty of the St. John River, raging through the centre of town.

As we were leaving Prince Edward Island, near the end of our journey, we stopped in the Village of Kinkora to take a picture of this old barn, along the roadside. I like the setting among the trees and the scene’s foreground, featuring the red soil (muted on this overcast day) and green grass that typifies “The Island”.

Here’s one last scene from the Fundy Coast, near the community of Pocologan.

The colours in the previous photo are quite flat (to put it mildly), not surprising considering the light conditions on that day. I decided to convert it to black and white and here’s the outcome. Feel free to let me know if you have a preference for one or the other.

I hope you enjoyed this travelogue from the East Coast. Your comments are always welcome.
