Lunenburg, Nova Scotia

[boden]

Lunenburg is a small quaint town in Nova Scotia. Although today it only has a population of just over 2,000 it seems much larger. It is famous in that the schooner "Bluenose" was built here. I took these pics earlier in the summer.

Beautiful pictures of a well maintained and very clean town! Thank you for sharing!

[Echoes]

Gorgeous! If I'm not mistaken Lunenburg is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.. yes?

[mSeattle]

Looks like it's right out of the story book. Attractive boating/fishing town.

[Bergenser]

Wonderful pictures! Makes me wanna visit myself. :)

[Evergrey]

this town is fabulous... love the maritime feel and the fog!

[skylife]

I LOVE it.

[flar]

Maritime towns are so colourful

Lunenburg looks great. I love all of the wooden buildings. It's a nice change from brick and stone seen in countless other places. This looks like a wonderful fishing town. The fog helps out with the pictures, too.

Lunenburg is a pretty town. It's about an hour West of Halifax along the Atlantic coast of NS. That stretch of coast is known as the South Shore, and extends down to Yarmouth. There are a bunch of similar towns, although Lunenburg is probably the nicest.

Lunenburg itself was created by German settlers who left Halifax in the 1750s. It is not much bigger today than it would have been back then. It's mostly tourism-oriented and is almost a suburb of Bridgewater, which has the modern malls, a Michelin plant, etc. Lunenburg used to have a big fishing fleet but I think that is mostly gone.

beautiful town. gotta get there someday.

Cool pics. Looks like a great place to film a Stephen King novel.

Excellent pics! I was in Lunenburg about 6 years ago and really enjoyed it.

[TheMeltyMan]

I love it. It really seems like I could settle down in a place like this. I've always had a thing for the little coastal towns of Maine and Nova Scotia.

[Ex-Ithacan]

What a cool looking town. Love the variety of building styles and colors. Thanks for bringing this place to us boden. :tup:

[mrherodotus]

Not bad for such a small town.
