The Calm Before the Storm

Last month I took photos of a passing hurricane. Thankfully it didn't score a direct hit; that usually doesn't happen here. These were taken when the storm was just beginning to hit.

The Coastguard was present in Mahone Bay harbour, as watercraft moved in to be safe from the approaching storm.

These are as seen from the wharf marina.

It was a very gray day. Notice the famous three churches in the background.

A luxurious yacht also came in out of the storm.

 The waves are getting bigger and bigger at Westhavers beach.

Our weather this summer was disappointing; a lot of rain and downright cold days. The autumn days, though have been great, so far, with lots of sun and warm temperatures.

Next time, we're going to the scarecrow festival.

Thunder & Lightening!

Here are photos of the thunder and lightening storm we had last night. It was quite spectacular. Loud claps of thunder, incredibly bright lightening, heavy rain - nature was angry!

It's amazing that these were taken at night. I have linked to the story here  at Halifax's newspaper, The Chronicle Herald. They have some great youtube footage. It was quite a light show!
