Nova Scotia – what goes up, must come down

I do miss the west coast mountains – on the coastal areas you really can’t go to many places without seeing towering mountains.

While Nova Scotia has geographic place names such as North Mountain, they are what I would consider to be hills, but they are quite beautiful and offer some very nice views. They are also a lot of fun to drive up and down…

My first visit to Cottage Cove in Port George was at low tide the day before a nice storm hit Nova Scotia.

The beach is a mix of rock and cobble, with lot’s of interesting things to poke at. Not the easiest to walk on, but a great place to spend some time.

The next day was not as calm, and the waves were quite spectacular at high tide. I stopped at Cottage Cove Provincial Park to watch, and shoot a bit of video.
