Frank's 2006 summer vacation – Part 2

I spent a week in July on vacation with my friends Moof and Jen. We went to New Hampshire, Maine, and Nova Scotia. Here are some highlights.

So here are the results. 30 pictures.

B-17, Bar Harbor

Next up was Bar Harbor, Maine, overnight, and then onto Nova Scotia, Canada via the Cat Ferry. However, right before getting to Bar Harbor, we spotted a B-17 named "Sentimental Journey" at the local airport. There are only 14 B-17s that are still operational (out of a fleet of 12,731 built). I had seen Sentimental Journey two days earlier at the Ithaca Airport. "Moof, stop the car!" Actually, it was more like, "Frank, you want us to stop?" "Yespleasethankyounow."

It was at the end of the day, and no one was around, and the gate was locked. So we took a few pictures from outside.

Lighthouse Museum, Nova Scotia

We took the Cat Ferry to Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. Just outside of Yarmouth, in Barrington, we went to a lighthouse museum.

[View from the lighthouse museum]

The lighthouse musem was an old lighthouse that was moved to its current location. It's actually a rather small lighthouse, like 3-4 stories high, and is a good ways inland. A flaw in the camera lens ruins a good number of pictures from this trip, very visible in the first shot. The last shot is the view of the Atlantic Ocean from the lighthouse.

Three shots from the light of the lighthouse. Lots of Fresnel lenses and stuff. The middle shot has a view outside as well.

Another of the lighthouse light and one looking up from the bottom of the light mechanism into the glass at the top.

Kejimkujik Seaside Adjunct Park, Nova Scotia

The Kejimkujik Park is at the center of Nova Scotia. However, the Kejimkujik Seaside Adjunct Park is on the southeast part of the lower island, right on the water, and has some paths to hike to the water. Pretty area, even though its name Can Not Be Spoken (unless you're Iclandic or Innuit or something). We hiked to the Harbour Rocks by the Atlantic Ocean.

A view of the trail, and two of the water. Again, the lens flaw ruins the pictures.

[The bay at Kejimkujik]

[The bay at Kejimkujik]

A boardwalk-y sort of overlook. Jen was taking a picture of the scenery, not of Moof's ass. I just happened to time my picture porly. And two more of the seashore, ruined by the lens flaw. (Not to harp on that, but it irks me.)

[Rocks at Kejimkujik]

A shot of the cool rocks at Harbour Rocks. One that includes my shadow. And another of a mini-island (I think it was kind of low tide there).

[Beach at Kejimkujik]

Yet more seaside adjunct action, plus one of Moof and Jen in the distance on the beach.

[The rocky (mini)cliffs]

[Funky rocks]

The rocks had cool textures and looked like they could be massive cliffs. But as the second picture shows, with Moof there as a size reference, they're not that big. The last one is of a funky rock, as I was thinking of a geologist who might dig it.

[Some kind of plant at Kejimkujik]

[Fiddlehead at Kejimkujik]

A couple of neat looking plants along the trail. I believe the second one is a fiddlehead. The gray worm-like thing at the top is the strap from the camera.
