Nova Scotia

The beauty of Nova Scotia


I have been lucky to visit Nova Scotia on five separate trips. And I've taken a photograph or three while there. Today, I thought I share a few (a very few) of those image.

Along the north shore on the Bay of Fundy you will find Margaretsville, a small community (population: 202) in Annapolis County

Continuing west along the Bay of Fundy shore and you'll come to Digby. A pretty town with an active harbour filled with fishing boats. And home to the best scallops you'll ever taste!

Cross the peninsular to Liverpool, then head east to Bridgewater. Then hang a right and head towards Lunenburg. Blue Rocks is about 6 minutes east (seaward) of Lunenburg. A quaint fishing village that has become very popular with artists and photographers.

Continue along Nova Scotia's Trunk 3 as it hugs the south shore past Saint Margaret's Bay until you reach Upper Tantallon and then turn right and head to Indian Harbour.

Continue eastward along the shore road and you arrive at Peggy's Cove, home of the World famous Peggy's Cove Lighthouse originally built in 1868. And while most tourists focus on the lighthouse, the harbour at Peggy's cove is certainly one of the most picturesque in the Maritimes.

Attempt at licensing update

Licensing

About a month ago, I posted a blog post talking about my first entry into the world of image licensing. (See post dated 14 February 2015)

In the past month since joining PicFair, I've uploaded 53 images to the site. As I mentioned on my previous post, if the site's moderators really like your image, they award it a Star. You don't need to remove those images that were not starred, but they do affect the number of images that you can upload. So I decided to delete any image I upload that does not receive that coveted Star. This has resulted in the deletion of 21 images, leaving as of today (13 March 2015) 32 images on my PicFair page. Have not yet made my first Million doing this. In fact, haven't even made my first penny, but one must try. (Smile)

I did notice a flurry of activity on one particular image very recently.

This was one of the first images I uploaded to the site. While the images I uploaded at the same time have on average eight views, the number of views this image has received has jumped to 46! Almost 40 views in under two days! Have no idea why? But I do like knowing that one of my images has attracted the attention of a good number of viewers. My thanks to everyone who has taken the time to look at any of my images.

Before I close, I'd like to show three more of my images that recently received that wonderful Star.
