Not hard to feel a connection to that familiar landscape, next time it's on the agenda.  Found one good Nova Scotia film on that site which I will post elsewhere.

We have not been there but many parts remind me of Harris and Lewis where we stayed
last year in September/October. Is it great to live there. For our holdays it was fantastic.
We hope to see the other Isles too.

Beautiful landscapes! Thanks for sharing. Computer-chair traveling at its best ;)

 Spoiled for choice in the west? It reminded me of the time (in the 60s) (not the quality)when I had my first cine camera. It was clockwork. I decided to film the sunset on the far north west. I gave up at 1.00am as it was still setting.
