Lunenburg, Nova Scotia

In the late spring of 2014, I had occasion to visit Maine for a bit over a week, and New Brunswick and Nova Scotia for a couple of days. It wasn't enough time. Not by a long shot. It was an enjoyable excursion, nonetheless. Lunenburg was the furthest reach of my itinerary that started in Portland. It was kind of crazy to include Canada at all considering I only had 11 days in total. They would have been better spent actually wandering around the sights of Maine--on foot as much as possible--rather than spending so much time driving. Still, I enjoyed my brief time I spent north of the border. I decided on Lunenburg because of its inclusion on the list of World Heritage Sites. It's a beautiful little town, but it's a town I would have enjoyed more had I not been so rushed.

 

This was taken across the Lunenburg Harbor, on the "Bluenose Golf Course" and is a pano that incorporates four photos. It was nice of the large sailboat to park right at the center of my panoramic photo (combining 6 photos), don't you think? One unfortunate thing--I should have immediately gone to this spot across the bay to take this photo instead of wandering about a bit. Why? The sun had gotten behind the plane of these buildings' seaward facing sides, so most of the buildings are in shadow, so it's not the photo it could have been. :-(

 

The best way to view it is, IMO, to click on it with the cursor, and then move it from one side to the other of the screen.
