Old fishing floats on the top of pilings…
I saw these fishing floats on the top of pilings at Parkers Cove on the Minas Basin, north of Granville Ferry and Annapolis Royal, on the south-east shore of the Bay of Fundy.
The tides are spectacular here, with a range of 16 meters (53ft), so I figure that the floats are perhaps used to prevent damage to the fishing boats, or maybe they are just there to mark where the boats tie up.
Dunno – someone will know. Someone always knows…

Chateau Laurier
Looking down the Rideau Canal locks toward the Ottawa River and the Royal Alexandra Interprovincial Bridge that leads to Gatineau, Quebec.
The 8 locks connect the channel of the Rideau Canal in Ottawa to the Ottawa River, almost 24.4 m below. Registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007, the Rideau Canal is the oldest continuously operated canal system in North America.
National War Memorial – Ottawa
The National War Memorial, also known as “The Response,” was unveiled in 1939 to commemorate the service of Canadians in the First World War 1914-1918. The memorial has come to symbolize the sacrifice of all Canadians who have served Canada in time of war.
Low water at Taylor River
Taylor River is one of those places that you should take the time to visit – it’s powerful at low water flows, and spectacular and deadly during high water flows. It picked up this stump, and would carry a person away like a match stick.
You have to respect the beauty, fragility, and power of nature…
