They blocked off the road to Peggy's Cove and made it a private place for families to mourn.

Anything with "Nova Scotia" in the title I check out.

In fact I bought a small print like that and have it in my kitchen.

of NS and Prince Edward Island are warmer than the oceans north of the Carolinas in the US in the summer. But if you want waves, go either north or south of Halifax on the east coast. Lovely people in NS. I've lived there twice. My final goal is to visit Sable Island though i plan to go to the South Shore to do some genealogy.

I love the waves breaking on the rocks. It creates a bit of natural chaos in the scene. The lighthouse and rocks and sky are all calm with the waves being in motion. It’s a nice quality.

water and sky are done well and harmonize. It reminds me of the Fauves a bit, mainly the colors.
