Granite scenery
Granite scenery
A fine, sandy beach lapping onto low, glacially-moulded granite outcrop littered with erratic boulders. My daughter thought that this was Nova Scotia when she saw my pictures - and there is a connection because in the days before the Atlantic Ocean opened, Nova Scotia was a continuation of the same terrain.
