Nova Scotia hangs on to Canada's Eastern edge by a narrow isthmus. With a nautical history that dates back long before Europeans ever set foot on her shore, it remains a sea-faring culture today. The towns of Lunenburg, Halls Harbour, Peggy's Cove, and even the capital city of Halifax revolve around their quays where local fishermen and foreign yachts share berths along their wharfs. It is a colorful province.
In summer, world flags flutter from the masts of ships in harbors all around the province. In Autumn, Kejimkujik National Park is aglow in the red, yellow, and orange hues of changing leaves. Wintertime brings snow and ice, but especially cross-country skiers to Cape Breton where the evergreen highlands glisten in cold winter sun. Springtime does not come lightly either. The ports come alive again, while birds and flowers paint the forests with songs and colors of spring.
Nova Scotia may share the Bay of Fundy with New Brunswick, but the Annapolis Valley and the orchards and vineyards that thrive there are all its own.
