"After a delicious sun-soaked coastal highway cruise with great music playing, my first interest on arriving at Peggy's Cove Nova Scotia, was the rocky ocean's edge. In deck shoes and hooded fleece, I scampered over huge boulders to my old friend the sea. Having seen placid photos and paintings, I was unprepared actually, for the fierceness of the waves here.
Finally I stretched out on a granite slab, sheltered from the wind and 'zoned' in the sun and ocean roar, for the penetrating effect of the majestic elements. The crashing waves while I love them , had a bit of a startling effect - so much power!!
By the time I got back to Peggy's, most of the tourist crowd had left and I then happily enjoyed the delighful, timeless fishing village. I was at Peggy's Cove! Wahooo!!"
While my photographic skills and very simple equipment don't do justice, these are some of the scenics that make Peggy's Cove the Famous Painter's Paradise that it is.
