Pictures from the drive

The real photos come tomorrow evening, but here’s a wholly inadequate taste of the beautiful landscape. We drove here through a snowstorm but it didn’t really slow us down. As always, click to zoom in on the pictures…

    The second one with the beach chairs is beautiful! Where were these taken?

  2. Jordan Meeter Says:

    Oh, I forgot to also ask: What type of camera do you have?

  3. Shannon Says:

    Jordan; these are from Cape Breton Island. I have a PowerShot SD800 (just a simple little camera, nothing special).

    These photos feed the urge to sell it all, buy a bike, and move to the Yukon.

    Beautiful photos. Thanks for the ‘window’ for us trapped in cities.

    Shannon, kudos to you & Caitlin in your homesteading endeavour; moving out of the city to our little ranch was the best decision Thom and I ever made: nearest neighbor a mile away, blacktop four miles away, nearly completely self-sufficient w/chickens (fresh eggs every day!), quail and dove in season, a wonderful vegetable & fruit garden(peaches last summer the size of softballs)…And wildlife? Resident deer, javelina, bobcats, coyotes, badgers & fox (maybe even a mountain lion or two), endless birds including Golden Eagle…To top it off, stars so thick at night you can hardle pick out constellations…Go for it my friend: it’ll be a life-changer!!

    Shannon? Is this Your name?

    Well, here a viewer from Munich ;)
    Incredible place to be..Your blog-site-Artwork pure.
    Also this fantastic possiblity explained here…You mean really as - like me- living in Germany could buy my land? I always wanted to rotate and spin into Canada’s nature wonders.
    Like skating on my own river ;) Cool.

    I need more details about the company where I could find something like You did, visit, buy and take my way to freedom.

    If time allows please take a few minutes and manage some details for me and email or phone me.

    Your photos are incredible.

    God bless You and this fantastic place You created.

    Marius;)
