POTHOLE SECTION OF HIGHWAY 236
Deep ... deep ... deep are these potholes. The road edges were often broken and dropped off steeply. Not something you'd like to drive over at night -- especially in a motorcycle. A Pothole Map of Nova Scotia might raise awareness of where and how badly some of the highways are in need of attention.
WHERE RUBBER MEETS THE ROAD
Where rubber meets the road, for sport or for stopping sharply to avoid an animal or other vehicle.

WILLING AND ABLE TO WORK
This sign represented to me the resilience of rural life ... simple as that. While not exactly part of the "creative rural economy" touted in the media this reflects the willingness and ability to build a sustainable lifestyle in a beautiful environment.
ROADKILL HIGHWAY. ANOTHER VICTIM.
Another victim along Highway 236. Note the boot at the bottom of the photo. I'd love to create a Roadkill Map of Nova Scotia.
DEATH BY ROADKILL OR BIRD?
One of several type of dead animals seen laying beside the road on Hwy 236. No tire tracks were visible here so I am wondering if this was caused by a bird.

CROSSING THE SHUBENACADIE RIVER
Group of tidal rafters were just packing up as this photo was snapped with a boat still in the water. Note the current pass by those abandoned railway bridge supports across the Shubenacadie River. The current was swift and the wind strong. Walking over the roadway bridge (see shadow in the foreground) seemed precarious. The railing was not high.
RURAL ADVENTURES AND PLACES TO VISIT
Things to do for the body and mind. If a car was available these sites would be checked out. Anyone been on those tidal rafting adventures? Absolutely wonderful ... and you get to meet people from all over the world. Creatives dot the rural landscape. Gallery 215 intrigues me. Next time I come by ...
ROADKILL LITTER THE ROADWAY
Roadkill was common along Highway 236. You knew something was up as you approached a wicked smell. Looking at the ditch this deer was seen, hollowed out by scavengers and maggots. This made for unwelcome suppertime conversation.

PREPARING FOR RISING SEA LEVELS?
Now these people have their work cut out for them. This boat is in rough shape, but perhaps it is a boat builder's delight o take on this challenge.
