Peggy's Cove

 

 

Just to the south of Halifax along a winding coastal road is Peggy's Cove. There are many coves and small bays here but this is the iconic lobster and fisherman place for hundreds of years. The tide was way out so the boats here were at a pretty low level.

 



You can talk all you want but no words can describe the simple perfect beautiful simplicity of this really stark and remote peninsula.

While this is a tourist place these guys in the photo below are just lobstermen and fishermen and have been for many generations.

The lighthouse on the barren rock was really neat and we walked out to it and watched the boats go by.

And finally I caught the strains of a bagpipe and listened to this gentleman who was really great. This area is heavy with the Scottish influence from its honored military presence to the first explorers ... rough, hardy, self-sufficient folks who really created a new and permanent lifestyle on this new continent.
