Jo and her mentor and students headed out to Deer Island (again.)
I headed out fairly early to explore a bit. Found an abandoned bridge where I photographed loons and seaweed harvesters. I believe the seaweed is knotted wrack and is used as fertilizer in organic farming. A stop in St. George and a little accidental exploring took me to the falls and the power plant. There is also a fish ladder there for salmon and alewives. From there I went on to Beaver and Blacks Harbours. At Beaver there is a rock quarry on a cliff right next to the bay. At Blacks', there is a large seafood operation, mainly salmon, I think. The ferry to Grand Manan leaves from there as well. If you want to photograph fishing boats, or just boats of any kind, this is the place. It began to rain, so I headed to St. John, a large city that is quite a contrast to the rest of what I have seen in N.B. More on that later.
