Hello again, everyone!
So, I was walking along the old railroad trestle a few days ago; it's the quickest (and safest) way to get off Lockeport Island on foot. The North-East wind was strong enough that I finally gave up trying to keep my hat on, so I stuffed it into my work bag and called it good. The Brighton Harbour between the trestle and the mainland doesn't usually look as wavy-ripply as this.
Every year, a summer visitor from the US replaces what's left of last Summer's flag with a nice new one.
I liked how the strong Nor'East breeze made our flag look like a sail on an old wooden ship in a good wind.
I also liked being able to include the municipal water tower and the old Walton House in the picture.
It was only when I looked at this shot later when I noticed that the top of the wire fence on the trestle lines up nearly perfectly with the Brighton Road shoreline. That's what we call a Happy Accident.

I wasn't kidding. When I was a youngster, a local family by the name of Walton lived in that house. It now belongs to a nice retired couple from Virginia who visit during the summer.
Whenever we kids walked or drove past that house, we always jokingly said the same thing:
"G'night John-Boy hahaha"

It really does look like the house from the show, except the roofs on the dormers are steeper.
Those steep, sharp dormers are a common feature on the 19th century four-square houses like this that still survive in an un-remuddled condition. If I'm not mistaken, that style first became popular in Lunenberg, which, of course, is also the home of The Bluenose.
