Shoal Tower is a Martello tower located in the harbour (Confederation Basin) of Kingston, Ontario, Canada, directly opposite Kingston City Hall. It is one of four such towers built in the 1840s to protect Kingston’s harbour and the entrance to the Rideau Canal. Built in 1847, this limestone tower is 11 m high and 16.5 m in diameter. The guns of Shoal Tower defended the approaches of Kingston Harbour. A dispute between Great Britain and the United States over the boundary between British Columbia and Oregon that threatened to lead to war and to the invasion of Canada (see Oregon crisis) prompted their construction. Eventually Shoal Tower was abandoned.It was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1930, and is part of the Kingston Fortifications National Historic Site.

Nova Scotia

The beauty of Nova Scotia

I have been lucky to visit Nova Scotia on five separate trips. And I've taken a photograph or three while there. Today, I thought I share a few (a very few) of those image.

Along the north shore on the Bay of Fundy you will find Margaretsville, a small community (population: 202) in Annapolis County

Continuing west along the Bay of Fundy shore and you'll come to Digby. A pretty town with an active harbour filled with fishing boats. And home to the best scallops you'll ever taste! Digby Harbour, Nova Scotia, Canada

Cross the peninsular to Liverpool, then head east to Bridgewater. Then hang a right and head towards Lunenburg. Blue Rocks is about 6 minutes east (seaward) of Lunenburg. A quaint fishing village that has become very popular with artists and photographers. Blue Rocks, Nova Scotia, Canada

Continue along Nova Scotia's Trunk 3 as it hugs the south shore past Saint Margaret's Bay until you reach Upper Tantallon and then turn right and head to Indian Harbour. Indian Harbour, Nova Scotia, Canada

Continue eastward along the shore road and you arrive at Peggy's Cove, home of the World famous Peggy's Cove Lighthouse originally built in 1868. And while most tourists focus on the lighthouse, the harbour at Peggy's cove is certainly one of the most picturesque in the Maritimes. The harbour at Peggy’s Cove, Nova Scotia, Canada
