better left unsaid

I’ve been to quite a few ends of the road in my time, but I think this is the first time there was a sign the notify me of the fact. It’s remark­ably sat­is­fy­ing. I’m a bit of a sign nerd for some rea­son, I like the sym­bol­ogy that’s sup­posed to be uni­ver­sal but has a local twist. Like on this sign how there’s a fish­ing boat and a huge whale. A sea mon­ster sized whale. There’s got to be some leg­end about it all. This will also be the last photo of 2009, so it’s an overt attempt on my part to get that across. I know, it’s not very clever.

The lit­tle light­house you can see in the back­ground sits on a lit­tle island and marks the south­ern entrance to the main har­bour on Brier Island.
