Improper disposal of recyclables, Peggy's Cove, Nova Scotia

Peggy's Cove, Nova Scotia is widely known as a "must visit" destination for photographers. Any time we visit the province we always set aside a day or two to explore the area, regardless of the weather. Our time is generally split between photographing the "iconic" subject material that most visitors are familiar with, and getting pics of other less "touristy" stuff that we come across. Here I was getting photos of a boat at a dock on the other side of the harbor. In moving around to get a variety of different compositions, I spotted this can jammed onto a protruding bolt on new dock timbers. I grabbed several images from a few different viewpoints, this one being the pic I liked best. Suspecting that this had not been deliberately placed for those photographers that might have had a "Peggy's Cove Coke can" on their Nova Scotia image "bucket list", I removed it and tossed it in a trash can on the way back to my van.

 

Taken with my new (at the time) Kodak DX6490 camera, a handy pocket-sized point & shoot that always gave me great pix. Anything bad that it produced was due to "operator error".
