A cool January day at Cheticamp Beach has the beach piling up with small banks of snow & sea-slush. Question everyone is askin:"Will we get Big Ice this year?"
Good question, but we'll keep an eye out & hope we do.

cemetery sign 1er cimetiere des 14 vieux (old cemetery)

A cross with Christ on it over the cemetery , with mountains behind

Rows of ancient tombstones in short green grassy rows, with mountains behind

There's a road that bypasses the Cabot Trail there. .We wanted to go into #Cheticamp and did some exploring in the old #cemeteries and around the lakes. No one ever sees those areas when they do the trail #NovaScotia #WAYCTV Lots of history in places like this.

One of the first places I was told to go for a view of all of Cheticamp & beyond was to head up the mountain on Lefort Rd. Every once in a while I revisit, this time with my M3C for this 8 image stitch.
