Start of another journey

I love writing. I love photography. And I have thousands of pictures that I'd like to share. Organizing all of my pictures is an intimidating task - one that I avoid at all other costs. And it only gets worse as I continue to take more and more pictures. So at this rate, my pictures will remain a bunch of zeros and ones on my computer, never to see the light of day.

I've thought about how to best share my pictures and though there are countless photo-sharing websites available, I can't help but think about all that I am missing when I look through my friends' online photo albums. There's a story behind each picture, a richness just waiting to be discovered. So I've opted for a different route. I'll do what I do best and ramble on with my writing. Feel free to ignore the words if you prefer, but either way, I hope people will enjoy viewing the photos as much as I have enjoyed taking them.

Green Cove, Nova Scotia.
Looking south along the Atlantic coast. Notice the pink bands in the grey rock. The pink granites and the grey gneisses were once molten rocks and the patterns you see are a result of different cooling rates in the two different rocks. Most of the coastline around Cape Breton is very rugged, lined with rocks like these.

I was recently in Nova Scotia for the Canadian Ultimate Championships, so I took the opportunity to visit Cape Breton's Cabot Trail since I was in the area. Absolutely breathtaking. It's a beautiful drive with dozens of lookouts along the route where you can stop. This picture was taken at Green Cove, which is part of the Cape Breton Highlands National Park.

If you have an opportunity, I would highly recommend a visit here. If you don't, well, I would recommend you create the opportunity.

So now that I've sufficiently procrastinated by setting up this blog, I should get back to my school work.

Comments are not only welcome, but desired. If you've got something to say, I want to hear it.
