Ha! Same area, wider view, lower tide. Wind has changed direction. :)

Oceanscape. In the foreground is green, marshy grass, with a pole with 4 flags, one atop the other, flying mostly straight out, towards the right. Beyond is an expanse of red sand beach, still wet from an out-going tide. In the distance we can see water and shoreline.

#Avonport #NovaScotia #BayOfFundy

I took this in Avonport a few years ago. The flags shows recognition of the Mi'kmaq, whose history goes back much further than that of the Europeans. From top to bottom: Canada, Acadia, Nova Scotia, Mi'kmaq nation. I guess in order, it's newest down. :)

This is high tide. At low tide, this is a mud flat, popular among shorebirds, especially those fattening up for the long trip to South America from their summer nesting sites.

A pole with 4 flags, one atop the other, is planted in a field of marsh grass. Where there isn't marsh, there is open water. The grass is green, the water is grey, reflecting the grey sky that is making the lighting very diffuse.

A hill with a light covering of snow takes up the bottom half of the image. There are areas where the earth shows through in patches, including one on the brow of the hill. To the right of the brow is a single tree. The sky is a deep, cloudless blue.

#HighwayPhotography #NovaScotia

Have you ever seen the highway lines being painted?

Looking ahead as a car passenger at a two lane road, lined by forest. Ahead of us, in our lane is a grey car. In the other lane is a truck that is as wide as it takes to paint the yellow line that indicates this is a divided highway and a broken white line to indicate a passing lane. The back of the white truck has orange bars, and in one of the back windows is a sign with a skull and crossbones. Someone is having fun at work.

#HwyPhotography #NovaScotia

This tree has been dead for many years. One might think it a safety precaution to take it down before another hurricane or tropical storm hits given its size, but I have photos of it taken over may years... :)

Looking out the side of a car window, we see a huge green lawn in front of a two_story grey house, with lots of white-trimmed windows and a red brick chimney and cloudy, grey sky. Beyond is forest. In front of the house is a tall, gnarly dead tree.

#HwyPhotography #NovaScotia #SunriseTrail

I love driving this highway. The Northumberland Strait is on the other side of that rise and that river we see in the foreground is a tidal river/marsh.

Taken from a moving car, to the side, we see a brilliantly lit, yellow-green field that continues up to the top of a rise. At the top is longer, darker grass, power poles, and to the right, we see a white house. The sky is pale blue, with puffy white clouds. Along the bottom is more brilliant yellowish-green grass that leads to a dark blue narrow river surrounded by marshy vegetation. The river and the strip of land on either side is in shadow. A heron can be seen flying low over the lit part of the grass on the far side of the river.

#HwyPhotography #NovaScotia

A rural highway in NS. It's a very twisty road, no lights at night. That is the Bay of Fundy, and I love the patchwork colours of road repair. :)

A shot taken as a car passenger. Ahead, to the right, turning to the right ahead, is the road, with a huge dip ahead. The pavement is a pinkish colour, but more recent repairs have a darker strip of pavement centred in the middle of the road. There is a small shoulder of red dirt on both sides. The landscape is treed, hilly, with some cleared fields. To the left, we can see blue water, where treed cliffs curve around the bay.

Lockhart Road, South Mountain, Nova Scotia

Soon these wintry scenes will be gone, giving way to days with no risk of snow. We're not there yet, so here's another winter sunset, as they have a special beauty in their effects on the snow and clouds.

#Winter #Snow #sunset #NovaScotia #EllieKPosts #Landscape #LandscapePhotography

A winter sunset with the sun low on the horizon, just above a dark line of trees, across a snowy field where a few faint dark furrows can be seen. The sky is quite blue with a vapour trail and a burst of speckled and trailing clouds reach up and to the right of the frame. The snow under where the sun is setting has a warm glow and the rays are visible bursting from the setting sun over the trees and snow.

Next in my Canadian province linocuts is Nova Scotia, with its provincial bird, the Osprey and its flower, the mayflower. The block was inked ‘à la poupée’ (with different colours, green, pinks, yellow and gray-brown, in different areas) and printed by hand on lovely Japanese kozo (or mulberry) paper.

The mayflower (Epigaea repens) is also known as trailing arbutus has been a symbol of the province since

As described this is my linocut print in the shape of the map of Nova Scotia covered with an osprey printed in black surrounded with mayflowers against dark green, on lovely Japanese paper.

Driftwood on Huntington Point Beach, Summer Sunset

We do get great sunsets on the beaches on the Bay of Fundy, Nova Scotia. This beach is out of range of any signal for internet or phone. Bliss.

#EllieKPosts #NovaScotia #Sunset #beach #LandscapePhotography #Landscape #Shoreline

The view is through a pile of twisted driftwood, on a stony beach to the water of a flat bay and a distant, dark shore. There is a red sunset with dark clouds on the left of the image and drifting up ones on the right side.

The Old Barn and the Tree

#SilentSunday #Peaceful #winter #NovaScotia #Landscape #LandscapePhotography #EllieKPosts #farmland

A rural scene of fields with a light covering of snow. A dirt farm track edged at the beginning with some bare bushes and trees leads from bottom left of the image up a little then bends around to the right side of the frame. Up a slight hill there is an old, weathered grey Dutch roofed barn (curved with a slight peak), and beside it as a good size tree with bare branches. There is an eagle somewhere in its branches, but not easy to make out at this distance.

#PeggysCove #NovaScotia #Dawn

Early on a misty morning. The foreground is still in shadow, large granite rocks. Beyond, mist is being lit with the warm tones of dawn light, and we can make out layers of hills, different tones of light. On the farthest hill, we can see a big squarish rock in silhouette. Just beyond the dark foreground rocks, we can see the silhouette of a rave with wings outspread against the mist.
