Our former home in the Northumberland Hills of Ontario benefited from its perch on top of a knoll. From there we could watch the early morning sunrise with coffee from our front porch. And we had a stunning unobstructed view of the sunset while sitting with a glass of wine on our back deck.
When we moved to Granville Ferry, Nova Scotia, and bought our home on the Annapolis River, we thought that we would miss seeing the sunset. Our home here in the Annapolis Valley is nestled in the shadow of what locals call the "North Mountain". This impressive escarpment deprives us of viewing the actual setting of the sun. It does however, shelter us from the strong winds of the Bay of Fundy.
We do however have a wonderful view of the morning sunrise from our bedroom, sitting room and back deck.
It changes daily and even by the minute. It also changes with the seasons.
The canvas is dependent on the formation or existence of clouds, mist or even fog.
To our surprise however, we discovered that there are other ways to enjoy a sunset. Now, almost as much as seeing the sun itself disappear, we enjoy watching the effect of that sun setting on the historic Town of Annapois Royal, which lies across the river from us.
The town's historic homes and buildings dance in the golden light. It is a true delight to see.
