hurricane noel: Swiss Air 111 Memorial Site * Peggy's Cove * Whalesback Beach * Nova Scotia - 10/30/08 09:10 PM
Leaving Peggy's Cove, the afternoon had warmed nicely. I carried on, windows open, great jazz playing, cruising Nova Scotia sun-washed ocean highways. Driving past this site, I swung back around to check it out. It began to make sense as I read the description in the parking lot. I remembered it in the news (10) years back.
The stone, here at Whalesback Beach, points out toward the site of the crash of Swiss Air 111.

hurricane noel: Peggy's Cove Lighthouse * Halifax County * Nova Scotia - 10/29/08 10:26 PM
One of my first road trips of my Halifax summer was to famous Peggy's Cove.
Very near Halifax, on the N.E. side St.Margaret's Bay, it's an easy day trip. My initial road trips with my rental car, a jammy little fuel efficient Yaris, were many jaunts like this. There are myriad scenic delights within easy reach of this terrific city.
The town of Peggy's Cove is in the distance, taken from the Swiss Air 111 Memorial Site. There is some thought that glaciers left the huge boulders scattered over the landsape.
Spot the lighthouse on the point, above.
