With just over an hour until high tide, I was out for a morning beach wander. The sky was filled with dense clouds which occasionally allowed the sun to break through, with that lighting I figured it was going to be a black and white photo day.
The photos
give the impression of cold and a little miserable, but actually there was a lovely warm wind coming
in from the south which made the whole experience very enjoyable ~ as it always
is …
This fall, we have been enjoying an extended period of warm weather. Such conditions can come with an increased chance of early morning fog, which did occur in abundance this morning. With that I went along to Sunset Park to check out the photo opportunities.
Earlier
this month, I took some pics from the same location in Sunset Park, when it was
much brighter, to see these click on ~

Back in August we made a visit to Kejimkujik National Park (Seaside Unit), see the related blog by clicking on ~

Within that blog, I mentioned I would wait a couple months when the fall colours were out, to make a visit to Kejimkujik National Park and National Historic Site, well that occurred today.
Kejimkujik
National Park and National Historic Site is a Mi’kmaq cultural landscape of 404
square kilometres (156 sq miles) of located between the South Shore and the
Annapolis Valley. With lush forests, meandering rivers and island-dotted lakes,
the park is a place where you can escape by canoeing, hiking and camping, the
hustle and bustle of the world and immerse yourself in the natural beauty of
Nova Scotia.
……. but fortunately for only about a third of the beach.
With the
tide coming in I was amazed by the sight that met me at Crescent Beach, lots of
thick deep seaweed. It is the first time I have seen so much at Hwy 331 end. Usually
if there is any significant accumulation, it occurs at the LaHave Islands end, but today
that was all perfectly clear ….!!
It did not
hinder my wander, with the tide having been out for a few hours and the sun bright
and warm, the seaweed was dry and easy to walk on.
