This was the last moments of a sunset over Pennant Harbour, Nova Scotia. This shot appeals to me because the sunset divides the ocean from the sky. It was a very windy, cold, and nasty day which unfortunately you can’t see in the water but you can in the sky.

Although fishing and trading employ fewer people in Weymouth since their peak in earlier centuries, tourism has had a strong presence in the town since the 18th century. Weymouth is a tourist resort, and its economy depends on its harbour and visitor attractions; the town is a gateway situated half-way along the Jurassic Coast, a World Heritage Site on the Dorset and east Devon coast, important for its geology and landforms. Weymouth Harbour is home to cross-channel ferries, pleasure boats and private yachts.
Another view of the fort, this time in daylight. When the Knights of St. John came to Malta from Rhodes in 1530 they chose this fort as their main military stronghold. There was probably a Phoenicean temple to Astarte on this site before the fort was built, but the date of construction of the original fort is unknown. It was almost certainly ancient when the Knghts arrived. The creek where the yachts are moored was the scene of a pitched battle during the Great Siege of Malta (1565). The Turks who had overrun Senglea on the left, tried to swim across and mount an attack on the fort, but were stopped by the Maltese who dived into the water from the fort side and cut them to pieces in a hand-to-hand battle. / These creeks form part of the Grand Harbour, one of the finest in the Mediterranean. The peninsula of Valletta (the capital) lies shaded in the background. Pentax K 10D
In spite of the cost of living, it’s still popular. Kathleen Norris (1880-1966)

The Fraser River is a magnificent waterway, that begins in the glaciers of the Rocky Mountains and flows 1400 kilometers (900 miles) to the Pacific Ocean at Vancouver. The city is built around the river, mixing nature and human development. This photo captures docks on the river looking towards the Alex Fraser Bridge, connecting Richmond and New Westminster with Delta and Surrey, major urban areas of the greater Vancouver area, where the 2010 Winter Olympics will be held. This image was captured with a Nikon D700 and Nikkor 24-120 mm lens, hand held at ISO 400, -0.67 EV, f16.0, 1/400s.

Kyleakin is the first village encountered on the Isle of Skye, when you cross over the bridge from Kyle of Lochalsh…....this is where the old Ferry boat used to land, which I don’t miss at all, romantic it might be, but darned inconvenient !! / The old ruin you can see behind the boats is Castle Moil…......a few facts for you….... “The 14th Century Castle Moil has had many names in its long history. Also known as Dun Akyn (Norse for Hakon’s Fort) and An Caisteal Maol in Gaelic, it is now a romantic ruin. Sited at the Skye end of the road bridge in the village of Kyleakin, the castle has Norse connections. Legend has it that a Norwegian princess, otherwise known as “Saucy Mary”, ordered a chain to be hung from the castle to the mainland so that no boat could pass without paying a tax.” / Nothing new under the sun then, eh ??!!
