Right next to the ocean at Peggy’s Cove there is little hospitable surface for growing much of anything.
The ocean provides what the land can’t.

Fortress of Louisbourg
After many years I returned to visit the Fortress of Louisbourg on Cape Breton Island.
It is still as impressive as it was the last time I visited.
The day was damp and foggy, with drizzle.
It was possible to feel the loneliness and uncertainty of the isolated location on a particularly miserable day.
It is a magnificent restoration.
Founded in 1713, it became an active port for trading and other activities and changed hands several times.
In 1758, the British took it after a siege and it was thoroughly destroyed by British Engineers.
General James Wolfe took part in the Siege of Louisbourg. He died a year later on the Plains of Abraham in Quebec City.

The Beach At Inverness
Cape Breton Island is a spectacular and subtle place, depending on where you are and where you look.
The beach at Inverness is both.
We experienced it on a sunny, windy day. Not a day for swimming but definitely for walking and seeing.
Simply wonderful.
