This is an ode to one of my favorite places on earth.

My last photo shoot in Nova Scotia on October 15, 2014 set to Judy Collins’ immortal humpback whale accompanied version of ‘Farewell to Tarwathie.’ Her haunting voice and the whales’ plaintive song perfectly expressing the longing I now feel deep in my soul for my adopted home away from home.
Thanks to the music I chose, this one has over 60,000 views on YouTube. Continue reading “Farewell to Tarwathie”
