^ Yah its a beautiful area. Its in the middle of nowhere but still close to everything. And everyone knows everyone on their road. Every beach has the group of cottages, thick forest then the highway making it very private and quiet. The abandoned cottage i believe is owned by the McLellan family and eventhough i say its abandoned it technically isn't. There's a family dispute going on so no-one has used the cottage in years. If i could i would buy that cottage. Its on its own beach (shown in foreground) and on a point.

Gambo, Nfld, pop ~ 2,000 (the birthplace of J.R Smallwood, Nfld's first premier), which was in the news recently due to flooding.

^Not that freaky. It's from Joey's Lookout right on the Trans Canada. Plus there's a hotdog stand. Here's one I took two weeks ago.

The first one is the grain elevators in the south-end. It is an interesting structure but its a hazrd. Someone i know once lived around there and had to be evacuated because of a fire in the elevator.

Yah thats the Welsford. Its an awesome building.

Admiral's Cove, Bedford, NS

At the bottom of my hill there's a gorgeous cove i found today with unbelievale views of the entire Bedford Basin. I took many photos but I'll only post two here; one of them is the sunset over the Basin and the other is facing towards Halifax (in the far background there is two or three darker points which are the MacKay Bridge and Fairview Terminal Cranes)(all photos credit: me):

Thundertubs has given us a couple of great threads on New Brunswick:
Fredericton + Moncton
Saint John

And If anyone missed it I posted a thread covering some of the Bonavista Peninsula in Newfoundland and Labrador:
