Annapolis Royal, formerly known as Port Royal, is a town located in the western part of Annapolis County, Nova Scotia, Canada. Today's Annapolis Royal evolved from the 1605 French settlement of Port Royal , renamed in honour of Queen Anne following the Siege of Port Royal in 1710 by Britain. The town was the capital of Acadia and later Nova Scotia for almost 150 years, until the founding of the City of Halifax in 1749. It was attacked by the British six times before permanently changing hands after the Siege of Port Royal in 1710. Over the next fifty years, the French and their allies made six unsuccessful military attempts to regain the capital. Including a raid during the American Revolution, Annapolis Royal faced a total of thirteen attacks, more than any other place in North America. A...

For sale 10 + acre Leader Island - Live the Dream as an Island owner!

Please contact Private Island website for more information at

`Leader Island` is an undeveloped private gem of approximately 10 ac, conveniently located close to the mainland in spectacular Jeddore Harbor, Nova Scotia, an easy 30 minute drive from Halifax (the capital) and 50 minutes from the International Airport. This island has its own unique cove and offers breathtaking ocean views and quaint rural panoramas. There is a parking easement (for 2 vehicles) only 1500 feet away on the mainland near a deeded docking easement. That will allow the owner of the island to build a dock (per government regulations and mainland owners approval) to park their boat or canoe for easy access. A seasonal (summer) dock is available to use. Although a docking easement is available, you can just canoe or kayak over to the island from the mainland. As a matter of fact, you could swim there ! Leader island has good topographic elevation height to qualify for a building permit (buyer to verify) for your future home or vacation cottage.

Ettinger Falls, Nova Scotia

Ettinger Falls are located in Hants County, Three Mile Plains (Windsor). Less than an hour's drive from Halifax.
The Falls can be seen from the roadside, with an easy hike in to the river.
Hiking along this pretty river, through the woods was really enjoyable. Hardly any bugs either! Ettinger Falls are a series of waterfalls including a larger one that empties into a swimming hole outfitted with a rope swing. This is a fairly easy hike with some climbing and river crossings if you want to explore further down river.
Directions to the Falls are included in video. I hope you enjoy the video and get out and see these Falls!

Bay of Fundy Tide, Time-lapse, Fundy National Park

Time-lapse video of the Bay of Fundy tide at Point Wolfe, Fundy National Park, New Brunswick, Canada. This vantage point on the Shiphaven Trail is THE most spectacular location in Fundy National Park to see the full range of the tide. You would have to sit here for 6 hours and 10 minutes to experience this, but every minute would be worth it.

You really have to experience the Fundy tide for yourself to fully grasp the magnitude of it. This is just one inlet, but imagine every river, inlet, and cove, not to mention the entire Bay of Fundy filling up with an additional 12 metres of water in 6 hours. It's mind boggling. In fact, I can't imagine why you're not here right now to check it out for yourself.

This was shot as continuous video and then sped up 25,000% to compress it into one minute. Shooting it as video, as opposed to still images, gives greater options at the time of production but it sure takes a lot of disk space. The original video was shot July 10, 2009 but I just remade it into this format for YouTube. The soundtrack was made using SonicFire Pro 5.
