Les eaux du Bras d'Or vues de Baddeck, île du Cap-Breton, Nouvelle-Écosse (Nova Scotia), Canada.
Point de départ et d'arrivée de la Cabot Trail, Baddeck fut fondée officiellement en 1839 suite à l'arrivée de l'Irlandais Joseph Campbell qui y établit une auberge servant aussi de taverne et de bureau de poste. C'est aujourd'hui un joli centre de villégiature dans un site charmant sur la rive nord du lac Bras d'Or, une mer intérieure en Nouvelle-Écosse salée qui occupe le centre de l'île du Cap-Breton, la divisant presque en deux.
L’endroit est tellement beau qu’Alexander Graham Bell choisit Baddeck pour construire sa résidence d'été qu'il nomma Beinn Bhreagh, qu’il fréquenta pendant 30 ans et où il finit sa vie.
Apparemment que la goélette présente sur la photo serait la Rara-Avis, une goélette française. Pour plus de renseignements : [fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rara-Avis]

Located next to the restaurant where we enjoyed dinner that night, the ALVEI, was moored by The Freight Shed. After an excellent meal, my wife helped me paint the ALVIE with light as we used both my head lamp and hand flashlight. Admittedly it is not a great shot due to the highlights. However, this was my only chance because she was gone the next morning. In fabulous condition, the rigging was wonderful to view. I googled her name and have left the url should anyone be interested.
Baddeck, NS Canada...down by the waterfront.
Kids show up in swarms to sail these little boats. There was much excitement and yelling as they sailed around the inner harbor area of the Bras d' Or Lake.
It was an overcast day....as you can see...but that didn't dampen the enthusiasm of the kids.

The gal in the middle of the road was late to the show, hauled out her camera and got the picture in the end!
