Sorry for the slow reply - my eMail was acting up abit. Its really nice to get comments on ones photos. Really should have responded sooner as have had comments on my last few submissions and in general positive suggestions and comments. Some earlier submissions didn't do so well. It would be nice to think I'm improving but alas probably not the case. Will have to try to get the nerve up to try some comments. The fishing boat shot was taken from the wharf in Ingonish, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. There are several Ingonish's, sort of an elongated village on the Cabot Trail just past Keltic Lodge. This wharf is in Ingonish proper opposite Ingonish Island. These boats are known (as far as I know) as Cape Islanders. They range about 45 to 55 feet; originally of narrow plank wood construction and now newer ones are more often fiberglass. In Ingonish and some of the smaller ports they are mostly individually owned, but in larger centers the licences are being bought up by coporations. To me they are a very picturesque and interesting but I haven't done very well capturing the essence. On this trip I was in a wheel chair and difficulty not just looking down at the tied up boats. This one had just completed a 180 degree turn and was still a few feet out from the dock. It was the last day of the season (snow crab I think) and they were bringing in their equipment. Missed most of the good shots. Not sure if I'll get another chance this summer yet.
