The various colours of lupins are a real feast for the eyes. At White Point on the South Shore of Nova Scotia.
This lovely little fishing village lies just outside the Cabot Trail on the northeastern shore of Cape Breton.
The rugged shoreline at White Point near Dingwall.
The site has a small graveyard that includes a marker for the Unknown Sailor.

This seaside bench offers one the opportunity to contemplate the meaning of life and such.
Taken while enjoying a welcomed break from life last month at White Point Beach Resort located along the south shore of my home province of Nova Scotia.

Location: Hasselbrock (Emsland) Germany.
Description: This shot was taken about 6am yesterday morning at a small pond. Apart from a slight PS color contrast and white-point adjustment, to emphasize the given temperature, this shot comes straight from the small sensor.
Exposure: 0.5s at f/8, mounted on Manfrotto 190.
Technique: Color Contrast enhancement, whitepoint adjustment and sensor noise removal.
An eastbound Southern Pacific train climbs the west side of Siskiyou Pass on a warm June evening in 1990. This is one of the most challenging mountain crossings in the west - the gradient here is around 3%. The west portal of the summit tunnel, site of the infamous DeAutremont train robbery, is about a mile and a half ahead.
Lead unit SP 6819 has since been preserved at the California State Railroad Museum. It is a good representative of the numerous SP locomotives that were rebuilt in SP’s nearby Sacramento Locomotive Works.
Bare limb trees in a canyon encircle a clearing creating a scary, mysterious image in black and white. Daytime shot converted to a nighttime image with a lot of dodge and burning techniques.
On the west (south) side of Siskiyou Summit in September 1986, a set of Style B semaphores mark what was once the west end of White Point siding. The grade plate on the eastward signal is in deference to the 3+% ascending climb. A little over a mile to the east, track will enter the summit tunnel. The west portal is where the DeAutremont brothers robbed SP train 13 in 1923, killing four railroaders.
Sixty years earlier, this was a busy piece of railroad. At the time, Southern Pacific ran four passenger trains in each direction here, along with two scheduled freights each way and numerous extras. Due to the tortured engineering of the Siskiyou, it was actually faster to travel by ship than by rail between San Francisco and Portland/Seattle. The 1927 opening of the Cascade Line via Klamath Falls a year later would quickly turn the Siskiyou into a quiet, secondary main line.
When this photo was taken, SP was running one train per day in each direction over Siskiyou Summit - a train of lumber empties into the Rogue Valley, and a train of loads for California and points east. In the early 90s, SP discontinued the signal system on the south end of the Siskiyou Line from Ashland, Oregon to Black Butte, California. This resulted in removal of all the remaining semaphores south of Ashland. At the end of 1994, the entire Siskiyou Line was transferred to Central Oregon & Pacific.
As this is written, CORP is now part of the Genesee & Wyoming empire. After being closed periodically, CORP now runs a flip from Medford to Hornbrook five days a week - generally during daylight hours.
