Windmills at North Cape, PEI

North Cape is the northernmost point of Prince Edward Island and sticks out into the Gulf of St. Lawrence. That makes it an excellent place to plunk down a bunch of windmills and the Wind Energy Institute of Canada. I had never visited the west side of the island so a friend and I made our way up there on a long-weekend-for-me road trip. It was mostly quiet up there thankfully but there was a wedding party taking photos and a bus load of tourists which basically describes many parts of the Maritimes in the summer. It was an overcast day so the colours are a bit dull and washed-out but you still get a sense of the red cliffs and clear ocean water. The windmills in the distance blend into the cloudy sky but I think that’s a good thing, wind, sky, and clean energy technology all together. Sure beats the coal and gas-burning plants we’re addicted to in these parts belching out their clouds of pollution. Photograph tags: BelieveInFilm, FilmPhotography, pei, colour, Mamiya6, windmills,…
