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.
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.

Taken at Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. Each summer sculpters from over the island use the red sand found in abundance to form sculptures depicting life on the island.
Prince Edward Island
Well, my processing order has ended up all over the place as this is the last image I shot before leaving for home. But I really like this shot so it got priority treatment.
And when I say it was taken just before leaving for home, I found this spot at a little turn off area right before the bridge. The toll booth for the Confederation Bridge is pretty much right behind me.
It was interesting to look through my frames of this area. When I first set up, I guess the tide was a little higher as there were puddles around this clump of grass, which is what drew me to the composition in the first place. As I flip though the frame in Lightroom, I can see a little stop action flipbook of the water going down and some snails scrambling (can a snail scramble?) into the grass to await high tide.
As always, thanks for looking!
This wooded bridge brooks a stream near Kensington, PEI. It is part of the Confederation trail, a disused old railroad that was converted into an island covering nature trail for walkers, runners, and bicyclists.

Leaving North Rustico and following NE along the Atlantic Coast, skipping all the Tourist spots, brought us to Campbell's Cove. A small campground amidst potatoe fields on the shore.
Murray Harbour Front Range lighthouse was used in conjunction with the rear light so when lined up they showed the safe entrance to the harbour.
