Though my heart is in Cape Breton, there is another island in my life.
Prince Edward Island is where I went to college and learned the art of photography. It was a bit of a reunion for me to return there to shoot a wedding at the end of August 2011, and to take the Canon for a bit of a walk in my free time.
One of the most striking physical features about PEI is its soil. The bedrock contains a high level of iron-oxide, giving the entire island a striking red color.
It is also a vacationers' paradise. Home to the world-renowned Anne of Green Gables, as well as some incredible beaches, there is no shortage of things to see. The island is small and quaint, its inhabitants laid-back and friendly.
One of the last things you see when leaving PEI is the Confederation Bridge. It spans a 12.9km (9 mile) long section of the Atlantic Ocean, and connects PEI with New Brunswick and the rest of Canada. It was completed in 1997 and served to supplement the existing ferry crossing all year round. It is a stunning piece of architecture and an historic engineering feat for Atlantic Canada
