Last color of autumn

After several windy days, the whole world is half dead with empty branches. I feel lucky that we traveled to some nearby small towns last weekend and captured the last color of this autumn.

Most colorful spots are along the highway, which do upset me a lot. I tried to shoot, but you know, while the car is running, sigh... it is hard.

Here is my most satisfacting pic, at least it is not blurred lol:

　

Blair River located in Amherst:

　

Oxford, famous for its wild blue berry:

　

Pugwash, a town with bilingual street signs -- English and Gaelic:

　

Wallace, some spots are really amazing, but just nowhere to park :(

　

A very beautiful road (Lake Road) located in Truro, where there are broad blueberry fields:

　

Wentworth Provincial Park, which was absolutely an surprise for us. We knew nothing about this park before, but, see, saving the last for the best:

　

　

　

What a reflection:

　

Amherst

Eventually, we had a sunny Saturday.

Saturday morning, I was still busy in the lab, so we decided to spend half a day visiting Amherst Town (NS, Canada). This is a small town, whose population is about 9,000.

We first drove to a horse farm nearby Amherst Regional High School. What a prince!

Downtown Victoria Street:

Old Customs Office. Look at the window, a very special arrangement:

Sculpture beside Court House:

Cenotaph at Victoria Square, erected in 1924. The bronze statue is said to be modeled after Captain Curry of the 85th Highland Brigade who was the son of Senator Curry, the donor of the statue.

Christ Church:

First Baptist Church, built in 1846 of red sandstone.

Stained glass church window:

Old lamp:

Lunch at a Chinese Restaurant:

Appetite -- Wonton Soup, I love the wooden bowl and wooden spoon; the amber color of the glass is also lovely.

Main course -- Gong Bao Shrimp and Scallop. We asked for more spicy, yummo! Look at the cutie bowl.

Mine:

Dessert -- Fancy sundae:
