This collection of images (mainly panoramas) shares some of the many sights enjoyed during travels around the Nova Scotia region in 2002-2003. With its paradoxal combination of a modern networked infrastructure and an authentic rural atmosphere, Nova Scotia has always been a bit difficult to categorize as entirely rural. On one hand, you have the warm and friendly locals who tend to remember you even years later, living among abundant unspoiled nature and remarkable scenery. On the other, you face a technology-literate society with inexpensive broadband connections and computing resources available in even the most rustic of locations. Perhaps the most appropriate description of Nova Scotia would be a uniquely balanced region with modern infrastructure when you need it, rich scenery for walks when you desire solitude, and for all other occasions, you have plenty of friendly locals around for a good old fashioned chat.

Remembering the comments about a certain "West Coast Trail", we decided to find some more info regarding this popular hike over the Internet.

Much in the same way the official Hiker's Prep Guide warns the rookies out there that the WCT, as it is commonly known, has the reputation of being "one of the most grueling treks in North America"
A fall sojourn in the Laurentians. Photos of the colourful leaves are presented. At the enthusiastic behest of the folks at the Montréal youth hostel, who had “promised” mountains of flaming ruby, my companion and I were lured into taking an excursion out to Mont Tremblant - the popular skiesort in the Laurentians, which is the wilderness expanse of Quebec province. The mountain also happens to be the highest peak in eastern Canada
