As we drove from Langlade to Miquelon, we stopped along the sand spit that connects the two. This was something I’ve always wanted to do and there were some horses who kicked up their heels for us. It’s not uncommon for folks to allow their horses some “run free” time.When we first arrived, we had a second breakfast of pain au chocolat and then climbed a steep set of natural steps with a rope to assist to get to a gorgeous view over Langlade. Marian is wearing high vis as it is deer harvest season here and we didn’t want to be mistaken for a deer :-)I just love this juxtaposition of nature, view, and tech that greeted us this morning as we made landfall on Langlade.We are staying across the harbour from the older part of Saint Pierre in a stunning new hotel called Les Terrasses du Port @lesterrassesspm and this is the evening view across the harbour. It seems to be a Friday night thing to drive out past here to the point. Marian and I took a walk out there before dinner and then I took this shot from one of the terraces at the hotel.Turning my camera the other direction, the colourful buildings of Saint Pierre come into view.As the ferry arrive in St. Pierre, you pass by Île aux Marin-The Island of the Sailors. The colourful buildings called out to many of the photographers in the group. We hope the weather allows a visit on Sunday but in the meantime, here’s a teaser view.TA’s Facebook Page
