More East Coast Photography

Film does take more time than digital. but oh! its worth the wait. I was pleased with a few shots that I'd like to share with you folks. Look at how beautiful Canada is!


St Stephen, New Brunswick on the left, Calais, Maine on the right.



Crow in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. (where the Bluenose is from!)



The St. Johns, NF bay where some of the first explorers first reached our great land.

Apologies

It was pointed out to me earlier in the week, that I have a typical elitist attitude to the province of BC and my hometown of Vancouver. If I offended anyone of you, please accept my humblest apologies. Maybe its true, maybe everyone from BC can't stop raving about how much they love their home. I don't notice it, but that's because thats where I'm from.

I would like to say, as a point of clarification. That while my opinion remains mine, the rest of Canada is just as special and unique in their own way. When i first moved to SK, it was such a change that it was hard to appreciate what I saw outside my window. In time though, I have learnt that there is beauty in all places and in all cultures. From a westcoast, to prairie to southern ontario and maritimes culture. its all different and its all GOOD.

I am proud to be Canadian and I love the diversity we share in this country, from province to province. By having a personal preference, I hope that doesn't communicate that I think everything else sucks. Cos I don't and I feel quite the opposite.

I should say as well, that a lot of my observations made in a previous post was actually out of the talks that Cheryl and I had been having about the differences. Many of the descriptions were actually hers. So I do need to give credit for stealing some of her thoughts.
