HORSES ON GLOOSCAP TRAIL

This tiny little peninsula called Nova Scotia is home to fewer than a million people and just 55,338 square kilometres. Yet many, many tens of thousands of those square kilometres have gone unexplored by SC and even undiscovered by TC, a native to the province. Between Windsor and Truro along the Fundy shore is the Glooscap Trail. Home to the highest tides in the world at Burntcoat Head and some of the most rugged, ever-changing scenery you'll ever see, this section of the Glooscap Trail is worth seeing every year, not once every three decades. Horses seemed to be in abundance, most regularly along the shore side of the road. Although you can't see it in this photograph, these horses are just metres away from a cliff that drops right down to the water (or mud when the tide is out). Happy to stand and pose for a couple minutes, these horses in Selma or Spring Brook may not have realized the stunning backdrop forming behind them. The clouds on this day were spectacular.
