There was no one around on this night to give me the story behind these shacks so I will have to leave the story to your imagination. But isn't that what photography is all about? There are so many different possibilities in every image you see but what I can tell you about this one is the name Tranquility Cove was very fitting. From the quiet little fishing village that surrounded these shacks to the small pier where the fishermen worked to the bay with the sound of the loons in the background. Before I took my camera out I made sure to sit back and just take everything in. There was plenty to shoot from the red sand beach typical of PEI, to the fishing boats docked at the pier, to the lobster traps piled ready for the up coming lobster season when I'm sure everything came to life and when the sun went down everything around me went quiet.
I spent three days touring around Prince Edward Island sleeping in the car hoping to catch the early morning sunrise and evening sunsets. Most of my time, though, was spent listening to the rain fall and watching as people moved about their day as I waited for a breaks in rain when I could jump out of the car and get a shoot or two. This location was no exception. After getting a few hours of sleep at this lighthouse, I sat in the car and waited as the rain fell watching as tourist and locals stopped to visit also from the comfort of their vehicle. Eventually the rain subsided and I was able get this long exposure shot of the storm clouds as they moved across the lighthouse before they turned to rain again. I moved on the my next location happy with the success.
