Saint Mary’s Church

Saint Mary’s Church – Church Point, Nova Scotia

Completed in 1905, Saint Mary’s Church was built in only two years by master carpenter Leo Melanson, helped by 1,500 parishioners. Its design is inspired by the famous castles of France’s Loire Valley, and boasts a 185-foot (56.4m) steeple, making it the largest wooden church in North America

The church’s condition has deteriorated to a point where it must be demolished.

Belliveau Cove Lighthouse

Belliveau Cove (Canadian French: Anse-des-Belliveau) is a historical Acadian community in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, located in the District of Clare in Digby County settled in 1768 on un-ceded Mi’kmaq territory.

A major centre of wooden shipbuilding in the 19th and early 20th century, Belliveau Cove built the second largest wooden ship ever constructed in Canada, the County of Yarmouth in 1884.

It is now a mixed community of citizens with diverse backgrounds, including Acadians.

The wooden pepper-shaker-style lighthouse on end of the north wharf was established in 1889 and existed until 1973 until its foundation had much deterioration and a storm caused the lighthouse to fall in the ocean.

A replica lighthouse was built at the same location in the 1980s by the community and is maintained as a private navigational aid. The harbor is still used today by a small number of pleasure craft and small fishing boats. Due to the high tides, the harbor can only be used for 4 to 6 hours at a time on the rising and falling tides.

Lake Pleasant

Springfield Lake

A quite windy day and I was at Airforce Camp, flying a drone over the Lake Pleasant shore. The campground was cleared out of the long term permanent “seasonal” campers by then Colonel Brandon Cook, 14 Wing Greenwood Commanding Officer.

It was a much needed cleanup that opened Airforce Camp up so more people can enjoy it.
