Whale watching trips on fishing boats also include bird watching and bird feeding! Our captain provided chum to attract the birds and this is what happened. Herring Gulls from all over New Brunswick (or so it seemed) arrived, along with Greater, Manx and Sooty Shearwaters. The smaller shearwaters had the sense to stay out of the way, but the Greater Shearwaters got in on the action.
You can see that they watched us as carefully as we watched them, waiting for the next food arrival :)
Grand Manan, New Brunswick. July 2013.
Grand Manan has a rich maritime history. By 1851, most of the island’s population of 1,200 was involved in the working waterfront; men fished and women pickled and cured herring. Innovative fishing and seaweed harvesting techniques were developed, including weir fishing, torch fishing, and lobster fishing, with the introduction of lobster traps in 1870.
The island’s fishing industry changed with the end of smoked herring in the late 20th century, but it still lives in lobstering, scalloping, weir fishing, dulse harvesting, and pen salmon aquaculture. (Island Institute)
Grand Manan, New Brunswick, Canada. July 2013.
Captured with the CPL filter as we explored some of the park while heading to Nova Scotia taking the scenic routes :)
Two fishing boats resting on the shores of White Head Island, New Brunswick, Canada.
White Head Island is a 15 minute free ferry ride from Ingalls Head on Grand Manan Island, New Brunswick.
We found this old convent on the way to Shediac and it had lovely outside chapels scattered over the grounds.
Grand Falls is a town located in Victoria County, New Brunswick, Canada. Grand Falls is situated on the Saint John River. The town derives its name from a waterfall created by a series of rock ledges over which the river drops 23 metres.
Au Nouveau-Brunswick, tous les ponts couverts traditionnels en bois sont affectueusement surnommés « ponts des baisers ». Ce surnom remonte à l'époque des chevaux et des charrettes, lorsque les jeunes couples profitaient de l'intimité offerte par ces structures fermées pour arrêter leurs chevaux et échanger un baiser rapide./In New Brunswick, all traditional wooden covered bridges are affectionately known as "kissing bridges." The nickname dates back to the horse-and-wagon era when young couples would use the privacy of the enclosed structures to stop their horses and steal a quick kiss.
Finally got out for some photos. I have been busy learning loads of Irish tunes on the banjo.
Took my son and daughter to see The Rocks to inspect the cave-ins that happened this past winter and spring. Quite a lot of erosion going on, to say the least. I liked the way the sun hit this rock.
In a golden sunset, an AC is in charge of a small eastbound train 408, as they split the signals crossing the border from New Brunswick into Nova Scotia. I was standing on the Nova Scotia side, at Fort Lawrence.
It doesnt happen very often, but in this instance, I was able to get multiple shots of the exact same train, at the same location, even using the same lens.
Here are the other two shots:
Although similar, each photo has a different scene, and feel to it. Well, it does to me anyway..
June 28, 2017.
I took this shortly after sunrise, from the Saint Andrews pier. A couple of resting birds gave me foreground interest.
One day I looked out the window and saw this little gathering in the backyard. JK Our house has a neat feature that is rather popular here in New Brunswick, Canada. The living room has a picture window on the front and the back walls. Thought it was strange when we bought the house, but, we've grown to love it. You can stand in the middle of the room and look out the front window to the street, do a 180 and look out the back window. And in both windows you're likely to see a flock of deer anytime, day or night. 24/7 352.
From August 12 to 19, 2017 my wife and I enjoyed a short getaway on Grand Manan Island on Canada's Atlantic Coast. We stayed at The Anchorage, a beautiful little provincial park on the water. Note from Present Paul to Future Paul - campsite 23 is a nice one, as is 22. For the second part of the week we were joined by my brother Alan. We spent a lot of time eating sea food.
Other than a very photogenic Burrowing Owl, the birds were not too cooperative. As always, however, Least Sandpipers came through. They don't care for it much if you walk at them, but if you sit down, it's like you don't exist. This one was resting amongst the drying seaweed on the upper beach.
