[PHOTO] Looking south across Covehead Bay

[rfmcdonald]

Plenty of large houses get built on the more scenic shores of Prince Edward Island, especially since the takeoff of tourism in the past half-century has meant that coastal views count. When I was taking this photo, looking south across Covehead Bay on a warm August day, all I could think of was that in winter the cold winds coming off the Gulf of St. Lawrence would really bite. (A kilometre of sand dunes, fishing outpost, and bridge will not block much.)
