Peggy's Cove-4
The population of Peggy’s Cove is 30 permanent residents but receives over 500,000 visitors annually, living there might be a dream for some but due to heritage and preservation legislation people cannot just cash in and sell up to developers so unless you are born into the fold one can just safely tuck that dream away.
While there are only 5 fishing boats that call the harbor home they manage to provide Lobster for the masses that visit so enjoy a freshly steamed one dipping in melted butter or a tasty lobster roll at one of the restaurants to support the fishery and if Lobster is not your thing they have some great chowder and gingerbread at the Sou’wester
Lobster fishing hasn’t changed in over 150 years each trap is baited with herring or mackerel, placed on the ocean floor with a rope then buoyed to mark its location to await its next residents, this is done twice a day every day of lobster season, over half of the worlds consumed lobsters come from Canada it’s a 1 billion dollar a year 100% sustainable fishery.
I took this on April 26, 2015 with my D750 and Tamron 20-40mm f2.7-3.3 Lens at 40mm 1/40s f`16 ISO 160 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia, Topaz , and DXO
