A Royal Canadian Naval seaking helicopter flies past the lighthouse at Peggys Cove. I guess the navy didnt want to get fleeced the $5 parking fee recently imposed to park at Peggys Cove! I was caught in the middle of changing lenses when the helicopter appeared out of nowhere, thus the poor composition of the shot. I still think its an interesting shot and worth posting.

My favourite spot in the world is the little village of Peggy’s Cove, Nova Scotia. The vistas are ever-changing, and for people-watching it can’t be beat. These three were relaxing on a perch overlooking the Atlantic breakers crashing on the granite bedrock of the Cove. Dreaming of what? / September 2006, Sony DSCF828 camera

Peggy’s Cove, Nova Scotia, September 2006. This couple were typical of the thousands who come here every year to simply sit and watch the ever-changing moods of the Atlantic Ocean. Perhaps to catch that perfect wave, bursting surf, or simply to enjoy the peace and power of the sea. / Sony DSCF828 camera. Waiting featured in “Going Coastal(4 Art per Day)”

Hurricane Hanna approaching Nova Scotia in early September 2008, after a devastating run along the eastern seaboard. Calm ocean but the brooding clouds and ominous yellow light on the horizon are indications of nasty stuff to come. The next day was marked with high winds and torrential rain. This photo was taken at Peggy’s Cove,early evening.

July 4, 2007, at Peggy’s Cove, Nova Scotia. Most evenings, young local musicians perform for visitors. I listened to this young lady until quite suddenly the afterglow of the sunset turned into that rosy hue that only happens once in awhile. / Sony DSCF828 camera.

This Father and Daughter pair were doing the same as I was, enjoying the crash of waves on granite rocks during a fierce Atlantic storm. The place was Peggy’s Cove, Nova Scotia, in October 2005. Camera was a Sony DSCF828. *Featured in “Blowing In The Wind”

Another late October Atlantic Storm and I was heading for Peggy’s Cove, a little fishing village in Nova Scotia, Canada, when I decided to hike off through the woods and get down to the shore for some shots of the ocean starting to kick up it’s heels. The offshore reef provided a perfect place for this boomer to crash and throw up a nice plume of water. For a lover of storms, it was the start of a perfect day! / Sony DSCF828 camera

Part of a series I took on July 4, 2007 at Peggy’s Cove, Nova Scotia. Sunsets here are a constantly changing scene that simply begs for more and more images, as innumerable people have found. The constantly changing colors in the sky and the quiet Atlantic ocean made this evening a particularly beautiful one.

Peggy’s Cove is 43 kilometres southwest of downtown Halifax and comprises one of the numerous small fishing communities located around the perimeter of the Chebucto Peninsula. The community is named after the cove of the same name. Peggy is a nickname for Margaret, and the village may have taken its name from St. Margarets Bay upon which it is situated. Local folklore has several alternative origins for the name. Some people claim Peggy was an early settler. Others say she was a young survivor from a shipwreck who remembered nothing of her life before her rescue; not even her name but was given the name Peggy by the family who adopted her. The village was founded in 1811 when the Province of Nova Scotia issued a land grant of more than 800 acres (3.2 km2) to six families of German descent. The settlers relied on fishing as the mainstay of their economy but also farmed where the soil was fertile. They used surrounding lands to pasture cattle. In the early 1900s the population peaked at about 300. The community supported a schoolhouse, church, general store, lobster cannery and boats of all sizes that were nestled in the Cove. Many artists and photographers flocked to Peggys Cove. As roads improved, the number of tourists increased. Today the population is smaller but Peggys Cove remains an active fishing village and a favourite tourist destination.

Oct. 26, 2006,about 6:00 PM, and I had spent many hours clambering over the rocks at Peggy’s Cove, Nova Scotia, as an Atlantic ocean storm was building up along the coast. These folks were doing the same, and we all had fun (?) slipping,sliding, getting wet and also getting some good shots. / Sony DSCF828 camera.

As evening comes on at Peggy’s Cove, Nova Scotia, in September 2006, a few of us who come here year after year pick out favourite spots to nestle down among the granite rocks and simply watch the Atlantic Ocean roll along. A brisk wind sends spray flying off the wavetops and bundling up is not a bad idea. / Peggy’s Cove is a tiny fishing village, population about 50, sitting on a rocky promontory left behind by the glaciers of the last Ice Age. It’s about 30 miles south of Halifax and the destination of thousands of tourists from all over the world in the summer and fall, after which it goes back to being a peaceful refuge and home for the local fishermen. A wonderful place for a day trip and hours of hiking over the rocks and along the shores,followed by the best seafood dinners you’ll ever find! / Taken with a Sony DSCF828 camera.

Lobster traps stand clustered around a harbour beacon at the edge of a pier in scenic Peggy’s Cove. The village of Peggy’s Cove is a popular tourist destination in Nova scotia, Canada; mainly because of the famous lighthouse that stands on a huge jumble of granite rocks that protects the tiny village from the fury of the Atlantic Ocean.
