Hurricane Fiona devastated much of the Canadian Maritime provinces, including my beloved summer home of the past thirty plus years, Prince Edward Island. Lots of property damage either by wind or storm surge. Still waiting to hear about my cottage and just hoping for the best. Fortunately so far, it sounds like no one was killed or severely injured, which is the best news in all of this. Unlike people, stuff can be replaced.
A heavy wet snowfall today in Prince Edward Island covered the trees and shrubs on the Dunelands Trail in Prince Edward Island National Park. A beautiful site to see.
Sunset behind Confederation Bridge, PEI.
Confederation Bridge joins the eastern Canadian provinces of Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick, making travel throughout the Maritimes easy and convenient. The curved, 12.9 kilometre (8 mile) long bridge is the longest in the world crossing ice-covered water, and continues to endure as one of Canada’s top engineering achievements of the 20th century.
After four years of construction using crews of more than five thousand local workers, the Confederation Bridge opened to traffic on May 31, 1997.
After you've crossed the Confederation Bridge (previous post) & landed in Prince Edward Island it's only a 30 minute drive to the other coast and Cavendish Beach. This is the home to "Anne of Green Gables" fame......The colours are not enhanced in this pic. The red sandstone & red soil of P.E.I. are signature marks.
The Confederation Bridge. It connects Prince Edward Island, Canada to the mainland over the Northumberland Strait in the southern part of the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. At 12.9 kilometres or 8 miles long it is longest bridge in the world over ice-covered waters. It takes approximately 10 minutes to across. At the highest point, the bridge reaches 60 metres above sea level, which allows large sea vessels, including cruise ships, to navigate under the bridge between its piers.
Leaving Cavendish & heading ENE brings you to North Rustico, a lobster & fishing village. A supply of new, "Old Style" lobster traps probably for the tourist trade.

Looking across a fenced field towards a number of farm buildings on a cool winter day on PEI. This photo was taken near the community of Lot 16, which, as a newcomer to the Island, seems like an off name for a village. Nevertheless, Lot 16 it is. I will need to do some research to determine why it is called this.
