Weathered fishing boat.

Two more that are now gone from there also.

I took some photos of the wharf with my drone - I didn’t realize it had burned. Last time I was there the old tug was waiting to be scrapped.

I have photographed it many times!

Laubbedeckter Waldboden mit zahlreichen, unbelaubten Bäumen, deren lange Schatten schräg über die rotbraunen Blätter fallen. Die Baumstämme sind schlank und aufrecht, Äste verzweigen sich nach oben. Im Hintergrund ist blauer Himmel sichtbar, Sonnenlicht fällt von rechts ein und erzeugt ein kontrastreiches Lichtspiel. Leaf-covered forest floor with numerous leafless trees, their long shadows falling diagonally across the reddish-brown leaves. The tree trunks are slender and upright, with branches extending upwards. Blue sky is visible in the background, sunlight falls from the right, creating a contrasting play of light.

Thank you! Very pretty, but made for an interesting drive home.

Also, this is Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.

This was last weekend, not sure any of them are still around.

Good morning! Nothing quite like an early morning walk along the beach during sunrise. Especially on a nice cloudy day while carrying my infrared camera.

Thank you!

Looking straight down at a small island surrounded by ice with light snow drifting on it in places.

Snow drifts on the ice surrounding a small island in a pond on the Eastern Shore of Nova Scotia. I thought it was a cool image - my wife says it looks like a pile of vomit. 😂 #winter #photography #drone #aerial #landscape #pond #ice #snow #cold #BlueSkyMonday #EastCoastKin
