Perhaps it’s because there are so many foggy days in springtime in Nova Scotia that each blue sky is considered extraordinary. We can’t take any for granted and each one is a wonder unto itself.
The sky is the daily bread of the eyes.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Reflected in the water, skies here make an impression both above and below the horizon line. Some days, the blue is mixed with grey, some days with pink.
The sky is one whole, the water another; and between those two infinities the soul of man is in loneliness.
~ Henryk Sienkiewicz
Right after taking the above photograph at dawn, I saw a young couple still in graduation dance attire drive by. Going to the beach at dawn to see the sun rise seemed like a fitting end to an already memorable day.
We all see something different when we look at the sky, projecting onto it our feelings of either loneliness, sadness, joy or contentment. Some of us look to the sky and dream hopeful dreams while others feel the weight of regrets and mourn past losses. Regardless of the land-, sea- or sky-scape, nothing matters as much as our point of view.
The soul can split the sky in two and let the face of God shine through.
~ Edna St.Vincent Millay
Beautiful shots. This may sound cheesy, but, for me, looking up at a beautiful sky is bliss inducing.
It is for me too Grace. We have some pretty amazing skies here in Nova Scotia and they are always changing.
Serene and beautiful images, all of them.
Thanks Pamela.
Lovely, calming and beautiful.
The ocean gets that flat and reflective? Very nice. My, you did get socked in when the fog rolls in, don’t you? It’s like a white wall.
Scott, the second and third photos were taken behind the sand dunes at Rainbow Haven Beach (which is right on the ocean)in a ‘lake’ that is affected by the tides.
Nova Scotia fog can be incredibly thick and totally blocks the beautiful ocean vistas.
The boardwalk leading into the mist looks so inviting… I love the changing moods of the sky! Beautiful pictures and quotes… Thanks!
Barbara, that boardwalk is quite wide compared to most here, and is very inviting. There is a lookout area at the end that offers quite a view when it’s not foggy.
They are all lovely scenes, but the one I love best is the boardwalk in the mist. I like mysteries.
Gerry, I like misteries too 😉
I liked that one too… wonderful moment!!! Great capture Amy, many thanks for sharing 🙂
Me too.
I love the way the mist softens the edges of the world.
mist softening the edges of the world… beautiful image!
I love fog… it is raining here now, and I will be going to some hilly places to have my fill of foggy moments 🙂
If the sky be bread, mist is cream 🙂
Oh Swaps, I like that “bread … cream” analogy.

Without the ever-changing moods of sea and sky, life would be much less exciting. Lovely photos. 🙂
