Charlottetown

Image
December 27, 2014. We stayed overnight and I decided to take advantage of the unusual light, lack of snow, and a polarizing lens to capture this unique perspective of Charlottetown on a December afternoon. These rose hips literally shone in the light of Charlottetown harbour. Here are the rest of my Charlottetown photos . from Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/stephen_downes/15936454809

Inuksuit

Image
August 28, 2014. People have alwways built inuksuit at North Cape but this year they proliferated in the hundreds for some reason ('inuksuit' is the plural of ' inukshuk ') Beyond you can see the famous kilometer long cap of North Cape, covered with seagulls, cormorants, and seals. from Flickr http://ift.tt/XYGDev

Oyster Creek Bridge

Image
August 27, 2014. View from the bridge as I cycled 120km to Richmond and back. This would be at the 99km mark of my ride. It's one of my favorite sights on the island and I always look forward to it. from Flickr http://ift.tt/1pq3JFP

Harvest

Image
August 25, 2014. An Island farmer pilots his John Deere Harvester in a grain field just off Mill Road, one of the sights I was treated to on a quick 60km ride to O'Leary and back. Another sight was Hackeney Road, a PEI Heritage Road (ie, sandy and difficult to cycle), which took me to Mill Road. View Hackeney Road - http://ift.tt/1tFOF6g from Flickr http://ift.tt/1wx94zh

Tignish

Image
August 20, 2014. I did a loop today that included the full length of Palmer Road (at last!) and most of Dock Road (73km @ 21kph). This is the St. Simon & St. Jude Church, a 19th-century Roman Catholic church in Tignish. from Flickr http://ift.tt/1piroac
