Scenic drive ends

I’ve been to quite a few ends of the road in my time, but I think this is the first time there was a sign the notify me of the fact. It’s remarkably satisfying. I’m a bit of a sign nerd for some reason, I like the symbology that’s supposed to be universal but has a local twist. Like on this sign how there’s a fishing boat and a huge whale. A sea monster sized whale. There’s got to be some legend about it all. This will also be the last photo of 2009, so it’s an overt attempt on my part to get that across. I know, it’s not very clever.
The little lighthouse you can see in the background sits on a little island and marks the southern entrance to the main harbour on Brier Island.
Camera used was a Mamiya 6 with a Mamiya 75mm lens and #15 deep yellow filter. Film used was Fuji Acros 100 developed in a small tank using Kodak XTOL 1+3 for 14 minutes at 20 degrees Celsius. Agitation was for the first minute, then five inversions every minute.
This photograph was taken at 44.255607,-66.343946 in November, 2009 and is Copyright 2009 Chris Jones. All rights reserved.
