Canada Cruise Fall 2014

In October 2014 my wife and I took a 10-day cruise on Holland America's Maasdam down the St. Lawrence and visiting some of the Canadian Maritime Provinces. Beginning at Montréal, our stops were Québec, Saguenay, Sept-Iles, Gaspé, Charlottetown (Prince Edward Island), Sydney (Cape Breton), Halifax (Nova Scotia) and Bar Harbor (Maine), disembarking in NYC.

Ours was the last cruise of the season, the colors had largely dissapated (leaves stripped by heavy rains the preceding week), weather alternated mostly between overcast and rain, and temps were chilly. Nevertheless, places visited were different and often offered nice photographic opportunities. Herewith the best of those I took.
