Here you are, as I am on wi-fi you can have lots of pictures of St Peters, the little village at the south end of the Bras d'Or lakes. 
 
 
 This is the opposite of Francois in Newfoundland:  A middle class residential area with supermarkets and a noisy road running through the middle.  It is very pretty with the water, low wooded hills and a marina.  Milly Brown on the left of this early morning reflection.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The houses are all (nearly all) smart, bungalow style (right) or more often 2 storey and decoratively detailed (left).   They are a far cry from the simple Francois fishermens' houses that were respectable but not far from huts.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Another reflection, I like these, artistic eh??
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
This shows what I  assume is the Nova Scotia flag:  The yellow Scottish Royalist flag in the centre of the St Andrew's cross, with the Canadian flag above it.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
This yacht (US as no flag?) passed us just before we got to St Peters, but was one of only a couple we saw all day.  Perhaps it is too late in the season for more.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Not a good photo, but yes, this was a deer browsing along the waterline.
 Does it make up for the lack of birds? 
 You do not really want crows or seagulls do you? 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Finally here is a video put together by Helgur with good shots of pilot whales (?) following the boat. 
 
    There are boat pictures of the Iceland - Greenland crossing giving some idea of conditions, then lots of random Greenland scenes. 
 
    The village with children and the Norwegian canoeing expedition plus their support boat was Aagpilagtog
 
    The shots at the end are of the airfield at Narssarssuaq where I left Helgur and Sigrit to go walking for a while before they flew out.
