The history of the Black Loyalists and their arrival in Nova Scotia after the War of 1812 is intertwined with the history of Digby County so too are the stories of pirates like Cutthroat Gulliver. This week on Walkabout Andrew explodes that history in Acacia Valley and Gulliver’s Cove.
Did you know the pub can host your private functions? We had fun creating a special menu for a private function last night! A selection of fingerfoods, balsamic marinated beef skewers, Tuscan chicken, lemon cream scallop linguini... The pub offers a great space to host your party, either with a private room option, or for larger groups the whole pub! #privatefunctions #chefscreations #digby #digbyarea

Just over a year ago, Matt Holubowski - a Québécois artist, released this video that was shot entirely in the Digby Area, for a song that was inspired by a sunset he watched at Sandy Cove Beach, Digby Neck.

Fish and Dicks is a very funny and moving play with, at its core, a true maritime heart. 🐟❤️
The wonderful theatre aficionado Pat Salmon describes the play: "Our ‘heroes’ are Gurrey and Grime, played by Joe Callaghan and Stephen Abbass. I’m not sure we should expect brooding ‘noir’ detectives in the tradition of Sam Spade or Philip Marlowe. Gurrey and Grime are probably closer to ‘guys basically in the dark’ - but I have no doubt they’ll keep you giggling, if not actually guffawing."

A short timelapse I captured on the incredible night of October 10th on Brier Island. If you notice some very slight movement in the camera it’s because it was insanely windy down there that night, and I had to crouch and hold the tripod down as best I could to stop it from blowing over. The timelapse would have been longer but a woman wandered into frame and hung out with her flashlight on for a while. • • • • • #northernlights #auroraborealis #lighthouse #brierisland #novascotia #canada #astrophotography #haligonia #visitnovascotia #halifaxnoise #explorecanada #canada_photolovers #imagesofcanada #shareyourweather #raw_canada #nightscape #sharecangeo #worldastrophotography

When it was looking like we were going to be clouded over at home I decided to pull the trigger, drive three hours and take two ferries to get to some clearer skies and one of my favourite foregrounds. In doing so I knew I was committing myself to one location for the entire event, but I made sure the Brier Island Lighthouse got saturated in photos and I have no regrets! • • • • • • #novascotia #brierisland #lighthouse #northernlights #auroraborealis #astrophotography #haligonia #lightupuoursoul #halifaxnoise #explorecanada #visitnovascotia #canada_photolovers #shareyourweather #imagesofcanada #raw_canada #bedtofthe_greatwhitenorth #nightscape
