I thought that looked familiar. I like your framing, particularly with the higher tide.

 

 

 

Another perspective.

 

 

 

Blue Rocks, just down the road from Lunenburg. If you look really, really closely, you can barely make out the Bluenose II heading out from her home port.

Some from the east and some from the west.  Peggy's Cove seems to be very popular.  We also have the amazing violin picture.

Do shore excursions count?

Absolutely!

 

And your boat looks in better shape than mine! 🙂

You really can’t have too many pics of Vieux-Québec, can you?  Here is a view of the Port of Québec and a view of the city from the ship.  Love Old Quebec in the evening.

My very favourite visit in Canada....!

[iancal]

We have spent time in every Province and in the NWT.  We have lived in several.  I often traveled on business in every province west of Ontario.

 

Alas, the only cruise in Canadian waters was an Alaska cruise.  That is, if you do not count BC Ferries. Trent Canal trip, or Toronto Island Ferry!

 

Quebec City is also my favorite.  Followed by Montreal and Vancouver.

A little less known in my home town.

 

Finnerty Gardens at the University of Victoria. Free to the public.

 

Government House, free to the public (When there are no VIP guests then it is closed.)

Or you could take a little sea cruise on this

 

and see some of these

What amazing photos many of you have posted.  I think HAL should create a "coffee table book" of ports and photos taken by their guests.

HMCS Sackville at the Halifax waterfront, the only surviving corvette from WWII.  I was interested since my dad was in the merchant navy all through the war - on a tanker, of all things.  He lived to tell the tale.

Great photos. I used to pass her by daily when I lived in Halifax. 

 

Here's a shot from my office window back then. It only shows her midships and stern, but she was always in view. For those who are interested, that's the CSS Acadia in full view to the left of her, a former hydrographic surveying and oceanographic research ship of the Hydrographic Survey of Canada and its successor, the Canadian Hydrographic Service.  She now forms part of Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, where she is moored.  The smaller vessel headed to its berth on the Halifax Waterfront is the Mar II. My son proposed to his future wife during an evening cruise on the Mar II. And yes, that's fog at the top of the photo, quite a common occurrence depending on the time of year.

Awesome idea.

 

These two pictures are taken in the Yukon.

 

One picture was taken in 1999 when I went to the Yukon for a Girl Guide Camp. We did a road trip to Skagway, Alaska and I got my picture taken at the sign.

 

Fast forward 20 years and we did an excursion from Skagway into the Yukon on our Alaska cruise. Same picure. Same sign.

Aboard the Coral Princess leaving Vancouver and our day excursion out of Skagway. We drove to Carcross in the Yukon and stopped at nearby Emerald Lake. What a memorable day!

St. Martin's and I assume the Fundy Parkway used to be a shore excursion from Saint John. They actually finished the parkway during the pandemic and the connection to Sussex was opened last year and the connection to Fundy National Park was opened this year so we've had a new place to explore while staying home. I'm posting some pics as teasers. Figured they'd be more interesting than the picture I jumped up and took of the Queen Mary as she went past our restaurant window in October 2019, telling everyone I was going to be on her the next year.
