Lobster Pots and Buoys (click to enlarge)
Another lobster pot image taken on the pier at Port Morien, Nova Scotia. Since the pots were pretty weather beaten, I went ahead and converted the pots to black and white and left color in the buoys and lines. A little different look that gives the image sort of a split personality.

Black and White Pot Stack (click to enlarge)
Besides a blacksmith shop, the other subjects I just cannot walk by without setting up my camera are … lobster pots. Can’t walk past them without capturing images. A stack of lobster pots make for the classic repeating pattern composition.
I took this image on the pier at Port Morien, Nova Scotia. When we drove through the town almost every house had a display set up in their front yard with people dummies. We had no idea what was going on until a week or two later when we met someone from Port Morien in a B&B in Wolfville. They said the decorations were part of the Port Morien people celebration, Morien Memories. This is a come home weekend celebration where former residents come back to visit. Sort of like a high school reunion for the entire town.

Stone Hut, Highland Village, Iona Nova Scotia (click to enlarge)
So how would you like to work the fields all day and return to this stone hut as your home sweet home?
This stone hut is at Highland Village Nova Scotia, one of 11 historic properties at the site. In the background is Bras d’Or Lake.
This hut depicts settler life in the 1700s. Obviously, the lack of windows makes it somewhat dark inside. It was surprising how roomy the hut is inside. There is plenty of room for the kitchen, beds, your seven kids, and a barnyard animal or two.
I wonder how they get the lawnmower on the roof to trim the grass?
