The sailing boat Amoeba that take tours around the Bras d'Or Lakes.
This forest is absolutely incredible to walk through in the fall and the waterfall at the end is the perfect ending. I haven't made it this far in my photo journey of my latest visit to my homeland of Cape Breton Island, but we're almost there and I'll be posting my shots of this magnificent provincial park soon.
Located 14 km's north of Baddeck on Cape Breton Island, in Nova Scotia, Canada.
1176 A, View from Baddeck, C.B. / Warwick Bro's & Rutter, Limited, Printers, Toronto - Postcard
Warwick Brothers & Rutter, Ltd., a Toronto-based printing company, is known to have published in the vicinity of 7,500 picture postcards between 1903 and 1912. Warwick produced colour lithographed cards on its own presses in Canada rather than outsourcing that work to printers in Germany or England, as was then the prevailing practice among its Canadian competitors (and among postcard publishers in most other countries as well).

We stayed in Baddeck, Nova Scotia, on Bras d'Or Lake, which is an irregular estuary in the centre of Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia, Canada. It has a connection to the open sea, and is tidal. I caught this sunrise from our balcony. The schooner Amoeba is at the dock.

Monument to the first flight in British Commonwealth, Feb. 23 1909. The Silver Dart with Douglas McCurdy at the controls lifted off from the ice of Baddeck Bay, part of Lake Bras d'Or, becoming the first powered flight in the British Empire.
Designed and built by Alexander Graham Bell and members of the Aerial Experimental Association (A.E.A.)
Constructed out of steel tubing, wood, bamboo, friction tape, wire, rubberized fabric and doped linen; it had no brakes and was very difficult to manoeuvre.
Its name was inspired by the silver-looking rubberized fabric used to cover the aircraft.

The Alexander Graham Bell museum is one of Nova Scotia’s finest national historic sites.
Next to the waters of lake Bras d’Or, it commemorates the life and work of the man who created the telephone from his Baddeck home, Beinn Bhreagh, along with a slew of other inventions.
Part of a replica of Alexander Graham Bell's and John McCurdy's Silver Dart, which made the first flight in Canada in 1909 in Baddeck.
After hiking around Cape Breton all day, we landed in Baddeck, Cape Breton, for a lobster dinner. More on the blog.

This eagle was monitoring the water along Baddeck, Cape Breton in Nova Scotia...a place where Alexander Graham Bell once had an estate.
FYI: Cape Breton is one awesome area to put on your bucket list to explore!

Bell and Baldwin develop their own hydrofoil design. Bell's report to the navy permitted him to obtain two 350 horsepower (260 kw) engines in July 1919. By September 9th, 1919, their fourth hydrodrome, HD-4, sets a world marine speed record of almost 114 kilometers (almost 71 miles) per hour. This record stood for ten years.

This bad had his payload in teh talons and was heading back to the ranch for some serious sushi. The exposure on this guy was tough cos hedecided to fly against that light sky. A little post processing adjustment was necessary but now you can't see the droplets of water coming from the talons carrying the fish.
This was taken off the Ameoba, a sailing boat out of Baddeck

Excerpt from Wikipedia:
The Silver Dart (or Aerodrome #4) was a derivative of an early aircraft built by a Canadian/U.S. team, which after many successful flights in Hammondsport, New York, earlier in 1908, was dismantled and shipped to Baddeck, Nova Scotia. It was flown off the ice of Baddeck Bay, a sub-basin of Bras d'Or Lake, on 23 February 1909, making it the first controlled powered flight in Canada. The aircraft was piloted by one of its designers, John McCurdy.
The original Silver Dart was designed and built by the Aerial Experiment Association (AEA), formed under the guidance of Dr. Alexander Graham Bell.
From 1891, Bell had begun experiments at Baddeck and Hammondsport to develop motor-powered heavier-than-air aircraft. By 1908, the success of the AEA was seen in a series of ground-breaking designs, culminating in the Silver Dart. By the time the Silver Dart was constructed in late 1908, it was the Aerial Experiment Association's fourth flying machine. One of its precursors, the June Bug, had already broken records. It won the Scientific American Trophy for making the first official one mile (1609 m) flight in North America.
The frame and structure of the Silver Dart were made of steel tube, bamboo, friction tape, wire and wood. The wings were covered with rubberized, silvery balloon cloth provided by Capt. Thomas Scott Baldwin of Hammondsport; hence the name the "Silver Dart". Its Kirkham engine, supplied by Glenn Curtiss, was a reliable V-8 that developed 50 horsepower (37 kW) at 1,000 rpm. The propeller was carved from a solid block of wood. The aircraft had what is now called a canard or an "elevator in front" design. Like most aircraft of its day the Silver Dart had poor control characteristics; likewise, it had no brakes.

The Maritimes #9: Flight of the Sea Clown
The Puffin, aka the clown of the sea, is not especially graceful when taking off from the water. I know it looks like the middle image in this mashup is the final successful takeoff, but I assure you they are in the correct order.
Photos from this series, along with others, are available as prints. You can check them out on my website: bit.ly/2IGqA0z. I can do a variety of sizes, with or without a frame, print or canvas wrap. Message me for details.
