Bow of The Bluenose, originally uploaded by captjoe06.

Very excited to see that the gates at The Heritage Center were not closed and I could get right down to the end of the pier where the Bluenose II was tied up for these shots.  Creak creak creak go the boards in the early morning as you step across with no one else around.

No crowds, no lines, unfettered access.  That is my world at 4:50 AM when most people are deep in REM sleep.  I need some coffee.

Open gates early in the morning= Joey getting down to the docks to take some shots, SWEET!

Sure you’re gonna see a gazillion pictures taken during the daylight hours of the schooners over the next couple days, but who else is cranking down the deserted docks to get you these kinds of shots in the middle of the night?

If you click the picture and then select “all sizes” you can see this picture full size and with beautiful clarity. The deep rich color of the wood on deck is amazing.
