The (Not so) Rural Pennsylvanian

  • Too Many Photos of Somewhere Not in Pennsylvania, Pt. II

    Continuing our series from Bermuda in April, the following photos provide a look around the Royal Naval Dockyard, which now functions as a cruise port and location for dining, shopping and museums.

    The following post (and two more to follow) are from a recent cruise to Bermuda which I took in mid April. The first entry is from a trolley tour around the West End of Bermuda near the Royal Naval Dockyard and Somerset Parish. Even though the weather was overcast, there were still some lovely coastal views.

    I love the colorful buildings here.

  • A Detour to the North, Part II

    While in New England and Canada, I took a day trip to the popular village of Peggy’s Cove. This tourist attractions is a quaint Nova Scotia fishing village with one of the most photographed lighthouses in Canada.

    Finally, here a some photos of Georges Island National Historic Site in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

  • A Detour to the North, Part I

    This October I was fortunate to take a trip to Maine, Nova Scotia and Quebec. Much of the topography of the inland areas, and the fall color, remind me of Pennsylvania. First up is a boat trip from Bar Harbor, Maine. This part of the Maine coast from Bar Harbor to Somes Sound is dotted with the “cottages” of the rich and famous.

    The trip was themed around the lighthouses of the Bay of Maine near the Mount Desert Island shore.

    Here are some boats, buoys, and critters along the way, along with a few looks at Mount Desert Island from the sea.
