We stayed in Glen Margaret because it had the closest campground to our real destination, a small fishing village called Peggy's Cove. With a year-round population of only 30 residents, this charming little community has become world famous as a tourist destination because of its scenery, including its picturesque lighthouse. Of some 160 lighthouses in Nova Scotia, the one at Peggy's Cove is likely the most photographed spot in the province.
Having been there before, my goal was to get photos (digital this time) of the lighthouse in all conditions and from every perspective I could find. That effort was somewhat in vain due to a failure of a hard drive where I stored images awaiting editing. Fortunately, I was able to salvage some showing the fog that is common there, and one sunset shot that I liked.
During our stay at Glen Margaret, we managed a few day trips to villages along the eastern shore of Nova Scotia. There are dozens, possibly hundreds, of quaint villages in Nova Scotia, but we re-visited a few of our favorites. One of those was Chester.
Another favorite was Mahone Bay, known for its view of three historic churches across the bay. This was before nearby Oak Island became famous as the site of a treasure hunt that has been the subject of a long-running TV series. Not aware of the alleged treasure, we blithely drove right past Oak Island, but we did get photos of the churches.
