    That butterfly at 27:28 just made my day (I was miserable before).
    It's the little things that make this channel so special to me.
    And of course because it is aimed at an adult and professional audience, without any other bullshit or clowning around.

    Gavin, where to start?
    First off, welcome again to our beautiful province of Nova Scotia.
    Yes, the weather is changeable and the bugs are bad, at times, but I'm sure you'll get used to that and learn all the tricks of the trade on how to beat back those nasty bastards. Concerned about DEET. Weeelll, I've been using DEET since I was ten years old and that was fifty-five years ago and I have managed to sire two children and nobody runs and screams when they see my face so it can't be all that bad.DEET, it's kind of like Alexander Keith's India Pale Ale. Those who like it, like it a lot!
    In regards to your latest landscape photography video. It truly touched my heart that you have found one of the many many hidden gems that Nova Scotia has to offer. When I saw the drone footage flying in towards the shore with those spectacular cliffs and rolling hills. Let's face it. They're hills, not mountains. I've been to BC and Alberta and we both know THOSE are mountains!
    Sorry I digress, back to the footage. I immediately knew it was MEAT COVE. Only having been there once, about twelve years ago, it is indeed an unforgettable sight and one I hope to visit again soon. I'm soon going to retire, well, semi-retire, who can live on what the government doles out to you, and I will have more time to travel to that end of the province and explore the beautiful Cape Breton Highlands.
    Now, on to your images. The back-lit Lupine shots, Spectacular but I am always a sucker for those intimate landscapes. You can blame Uncle Grumpy for that. Trying to get that Lupine, cottage, Mountain shot in that wind you were hoping would die down. Yeah, I felt your frustration there buddy. I was thinking, why doesn't he just go further back, use a telephoto lens and not have to capture multiple images for focus stacking? Then you pulled out the big guns and captured what I felt was an orgasmic image of those lupins even if it was an intimate image without the majestic background. Pure maritime gold there my friend.
    I have to tell you. That entire island in autumn will blow your socks off. You will have so many photogasms that you'll have to wear rubber pants or carry a few changes of clothes.
    As for waterfalls and the ability to access those that need the assistance of a rope. A word to the wise. If the rope, usually discarded nylon fisherman's rope, seems dry and very rough in texture, not slick and slippery. BEWARE. The ultraviolet light tends to give those ropes dry rot and I personally wouldn't trust them. A quick trip to a fishing supply store (the ones the commercial fishermen use not your fly fishing/ Tackle shop) and buy a few pounds of rope at least half-inch stuff and a good pair of leather work gloves (no need for those heavy-duty pair) to prevent rope burns might be a good and safe idea. I Got your back buddy! Don't know what shops to visit? Just go down to your local wharf. I know there must be one handy to where you live and ask any one of the fishermen/women where to get fresh rope. After all. We don't want to read in the papers or hear on the six-o'clock news about a Local Landscape Photographer who falls to his death capturing our beautiful NS seascapes or waterfalls. That would suck big time, right Amanda?
    I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Unlike the Peggy's Cove video which I thought was Low Hanging Fruit but then hey. for all I know, you and Amanda were in the Halifax area to make a trip to Home Depot for building supplies for that gorgeous church renovation.
    Maybe next summer, if you're still in the midst of that project, I could drop by for a week and lend a hand. I have carpentry skills, no lie. I know, I know, "where the hell were you when it was time for demolition?"

  • @spidersj12
    @spidersj12 2 роки тому +3

    The jagged rocks at the start of the video are shales or slates, the reason there's Shao edge corners to the uplifted sediments is that there are joints (plains of weakness near perpendicular to the bedding plains) that are produced through tectonic processes (uplift, compression, stress, strain) these plains of weakness are at definable predictable angles. We have lupins up here where I live, they'll blume in mid July. Mostly called fireweed, we get mostly purple and pink ones with the rare blue ones. They're often along the roadside where taller vegetation have been cut back enough for the lupins to get a foothold.

  • @JohnDrummondPhoto
    @JohnDrummondPhoto 2 роки тому +1

    @ 5:59 - the answer, my friend, is plate tectonics. The layered rocks are of sedimentary nature, formed from what was once seabed. Hundreds of millions of years of plate movement and volcanic activity have pushed those sedimentary layers in all kinds of directions, including up and sideways.
    Adding comments during the video... That lupin image was brilliant. I love backlit flowers.

    Those rocks jutting up are sedimentary rocks. Created in the ocean over millions of years. Sediments in the water settle and become rock due to time and pressure, hence the layers. When there is movement in the tectonic plates that the land masses are made of they sometimes collide and rocks are forced upwards. And sometimes downwards I guess.

    Very nice, Gaven. Glad you found some joy after the move.
    The woods in the NE abound with biting flies. Deer flies are especially nasty. I also remember tiny little black beetles that go for the corners of the eyes, nose, ears. You don’t feel them. But they leave blood behind. I always wondered what they eat when I’m not around.
    Your battle with them reminds me of Midge Water Marsh in Tolkien’s Fellowship of the Ring.
