In honour of Canada Day I thought I'd post some pictures from my home country of Canada. These two shots were taken at Peggy's Cove in Nova Scotia, Canada. Its located near the capital of Nova Scotia, Halifax and is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the province (these pictures were just barely taken before the throngs of people emerged from the tour buses at like 8 in the morning).
The village of Peggy's Cove was founded in 1811. At the time the economy consisted of fishing and later a little farming as well. The population was at its largest in the early 1900 when around 300 people lived there. Now there are far more tourists but fewer people living in the town. Located near the town is the memorial for the victims of the Swiss Air 111 plane crash on September 2, 1998. The plane crashed into St. Margaret's bay which Peggy's cove is located on.
