Day 218 - Grand Manan Photo Essay (Part 1)

As I said in yesterday's post, Patti, Marlee and I spent the last three days in Grand Manan, an island in the Bay of Fundy.

Grand Manan is a lovely place in many ways and I took, as per my usual, more than 500 photographs during our visit. I plan to publish a sort of photo essay on Grand Manan today and over the next couple of days, offering you the best of the shots I took.

This first photo shows the Swallow Tail Light House on a north-eastern point of the island, as seen from Net Point.

Net Point on a cloudy, shimmery day. That's the Bay of Fundy in the distance, by the way.

Decrepit set of steps, taken at Dark Harbour. Grand Manan is a mixture of the bright and shiny amongst the old and battered.

In baseball, you want to hit the cover off the ball. Apparently, the kids in Seal Cove can really hit a baseball!

Back to Swallow Tail Light House for this photo of a concrete block with an afternoon moon fuzzy in the deep blue sky.

And finally, Grand Manan is all about the food from the sea, as these boats on the shore of Dark Harbour will attest. There's a fairly well maintained two-lane highway that leads from the populated eastern coast of the island all the way to Dark Harbour but don't let it fool you. This photo captures most of the village you find at the end of the highway.
