Planning By Procrastination

We've been away on vacation for the past couple of weeks and the only access I've had to Flickr has been through my smart phone. The trip was planned by procrastination, which means the initial plan called for a flight to eastern Canada. However, when that didn't happen, we decided to drive. The thought or reserving motels or campsites through the busy holiday season also came up in our discussions but that didn't materialize either. Driving by the seat of our pants, so to speak, we relied on luck, which actually worked out very well - in one case we managed to get the very last available campsite in Fundy National Park.

 

This image includes the old Lighthouse on Cape Jourimain, which was built in 1870. It's one of the most photographed lighthouses in Canada and has quite a picturesque setting near the Confederation Bridge, which links Prince Edward Island to New Brunswick. It was declared surplus in 2010 and has not been maintained for some time. It's currently in the process of being moved back a few feet to prevent it from toppling into the sea as shoreline erosion brings the sea closer and closer.
