its time for the yearly 12th perigee present post (yeah i know its still christmas eve in other timezones im Impatient)

nancor gifted gliese some sunflowers in a cool gothic-style vase since he thought she'd appreciate the contrast, as well as some dark chocolate

dismas gifted maidel a really rare and difficult to find video game that she mentioned wanting to play once. he may have also blackmailed everyone who tried to bid on it on the online auction website he found it on to ensure that he was able to get it at a good price

callan gifted gerrel those clawed gardening gloves because he thought they were funny and also useful (and the pair he bought are in his shade of green, the most fashionable colour out there of course), and some seed packets so he can grow all the veggies he needs to put on a pizza. which callan totally doesn't want to taste test

ashell gifted cheran a couple books, as well as a set of inks and brushes that he thought cheran could use for his anatomical sketches (which he bought from jikiro's company lmao). he gifted jikiro a little hamper filled with different types of berries and some fancy glass jars because he read that they can be used to make ink as well as be eaten, as well as a box of chocolate truffles and a cute tanuki print stationery set because he got anxious that his initial gift idea wasn't good enough lmao

velour made jamie a couple button-up shirts, one covered in subtle star patterns that show off different constellations, and another that has an embroidered kookaburra peeking out of the shirt pocket. he also made a couple bow ties as well, which he says when he's feeling better he'll enchant so the fabric is a bit more interesting. he also made socks and gloves for jikiro and kana, ji's pair being black with classy striped accents in all his quadrant's colours, while kana's pair are patterned to look like tanuki paws

mikiel was a bit unoriginal and gifted both lyvere and thrixe cookbooks, but he did make sure to buy them books based on whatever cuisine they're currently most interested in

lusien gifted anirus a really nice and expensive bottle of scotch (the kind that you only want to drink on special occasions) as well as a fresh batch of homemade jams and preserved foods they can keep on their ship without worrying about them spoiling too quickly

sharle gifted jamie books on how to speak italian, french, and monegasque (remarking that it took him hours to find the last one) since he knows that jamie was trying to learn those languages. he also gifted tira a limited edition snapback (because he collects them), gave quinne a fishing rod (because she mentioned that she likes catching fish but didn't own a rod), and ropikk a bottle of very expensive perfume (because he googled 'gifts for women')

viltau gifted jikiro some custom-tailored silk pyjamas decorated with a regal japanese maple design, a matching silk robe, and would treat him to a candlelit dinner... provided that ji can solve the scavenger hunt vil has prepared for him first. kitaer also gets send on a scavenger hunt, but his reward is the bodies belonging to the perpetrators of a crime kitaer was trying to solve. and also a traditional 12th perigee pudding and some homemade mince pies, because he is capable of catering to his kismesis' lack of a sweet tooth sometimes. viltau's employees also got a big bonus of extra cash and some gift cards

glasya gifted mikail another new plant for his apartment, and will take him out on a trip to the beach so they can go look at the rock pools together and then get a nice dinner at a beachfront restaurant. they also made bags of candies for all their friends using thematically appropriate candy moulds

vallis gifted epsilo a life-sized moray eel plushie, while zanzul and tuuya were gifted starfish and sea snail plushies respectively

linnae went out and picked some pretty wildflowers and ingredients to make potions with for arctus, and also gave a couple wildflowers to his other friends as well

everyone else also gave gifts to their quadrants / close friends but i couldn't think of something specific because i'm braindead. imagine a really cool gift here for every ship (romantic or platonic) i missed

#ooc #spring and a storm #null and void #the prince and the pauper #lonely too long #dearly departed #starstruck #served ice cold #icebreaker #guiding you home #sharle and jamie #flying lap #dressed to impress #kittau #mixed messages #in too deep

Holidays in Millport. Isle of Cumbrae.

Small memories of the place we would holiday as children. Laying here in the morning glow of waking with the ocean in my ears. A distant car door slams shut.

I remember crocodile rock. His big red tongue and bullseye eyes. The thick grassy overgrown path to the beach outside the caravan park. The tall green hedges that sheltered us in. I can still see the view from the caravan window, overlooking the sea. My brother and I would climb all over the rocks there and we would cook sausages on the beach. I would find red stones and gift them to my sunbathing mum. Then we would go poking and prodding at washed up jellyfish. The ominous underbelly of the caravan looked so mechanical and strong. I thought of it as alive, a titan on whose back we vacationed for a week. Dusty bottles of used gas, random stacks of unevenly cut warping planks and paint buckets sprayed with webs lurked beneath.

The tree outside the door I used to run around was so brown and warm to me. The grass so soft and green under my feet on hot days. All now a pleasant nostalgic blur. And a melancholic desire to relive those days.

I can hear the creak of the front step climbing inside the caravan and the smell of the colour of the sofas which transformed into beds. I remember sitting by the window doing jigsaws on rainy days, watching pellets of water racing and the magical sound on the tin roof. I remember my mum and gran making me French toast and being a fussy little germaphobe if anyone cooked it with their fingers. I remember my gran having a heyday with that one… what a little shit.

I remember going for walks with gran in town, gazing into windows at heirlooms, old phones and devices I didn’t know. Every window was single glazed and covered in sea salt. I can still feel the spray on my cheeks. Light blue paint flaked from the old window frames and the wind chilled us on Scottish summer days.

A holiday on an island by the sea.

There was a brown and red bar near the harbour where we would sit and eat soggy fish and chips. The smell of an old British pub is so unique. Cigarette smoke and vinegar. Puggies blipped and jingled and flashed. Always a sense of so many people having been there through the years. Dark wooden bars and chairs and stain glass windows. Sticky leather that burnt your thighs sliding into booths. Little numbers embedded in brass circles on the corners of overly varnished tables. Every year the ugly carpet becoming a darker shade of red. I think of it so fondly now.

There was the old walled in harbour, and the stone steps with no railing. You could walk around the boats at low tide and my brother and I would climb inside them and hunt for crabs in the surrounding rock pools. And always there was cheap machine whipped ice cream.

When a 99’er actually cost 99 pence. A flake and raspberry sauce. Yum.

We would drive or cycle around the island, which didn’t take long. Half way was Lion Rock, which truly did look like a lion stalking into the hills. I only ever made it halfway up his mane. I remember the disappointment at being too small to reach the next ledge, mum calling me to come down. On the other side of the island there was a cafe in the hill, with a stair leading down to a small golden beach inside a rocky bay. We lay there all day once. And I asked my parents for money for a hot scone. The butter and jam was so delicious. I think it was the first scone I ever had. Then I had another. And then I dropped the third in the sand. My mum said no to a fourth replacement. Oh the heartbreak…

We would walk past the old pub my grandpa had once owned, where my parents met, my dad reminiscing over a seam on the wall he had glued many moons before. To me it seemed so grey and old. It was boarded up now. And has since been demolished. But my parents would speak with love for the times they had there. The friends and random characters from that time in their lives and how the place was haunted by marching soldiers when the lights were turned off. My dad was the bar manager back then and my mum came over for a summer job. I wish I could have spent a time back then with them. I wish I could have ridden along with my dad listening to Bat out of Hell on cassette on repeat driving around the island twice. Bliss.

Not far from there was the fair. I remember high stone walls at the entry and blossoming green trees that peaked over them. Though I can’t remember the fair itself. Just the sound of dodgems and the random rains that would pepper the day, like so many in Scottish summer.

I remember more the graveyard on the walk up the hill. I was fascinated by the old stones, the names of people I’d never known. Entire life stories boiled down to fading words and overgrown weeds. It was so sad and so lovely. I never knew that feeling before. Suddenly I was aware of human mortality. And as much as it saddened me, I found it beautiful.

In later years we stayed at another park. Though the two have blurred together in memory. I remember the drives to the ferry in Largs. We had a CD in the car titled “Power Ballad Heaven”. ‘Every Rose has its thorn’ by Poison was our favourite and my Gran would sing ‘Didn’t I see you crying’ by Cheap Trick. She would say “Did’l I see you crying” which my brother and I thought was quite hilarious.

There was a day we went to a small cafe and said hello to an older woman who knew my parents from way back when. She spoke of people who had since passed on and the changes on the island in years gone by. She wore a blue lunch apron and a warm smile.

There was an arcade in the caravan park and I made friends with a boy and a girl there I think… and we got up to no good together. There was a man aptly named ‘super cop’ by my parents, who had known him in their heyday. Named such that he was always waiting to lay down the law to troublesome youths. To spoil the island mischief fun. Though I don’t actually think he was a police officer. I once told Mum and Dad a story about getting into trouble with him.

“Not today” I told them he’d said, but to what I can’t recall. But my parents laughed and that was all that mattered. They still bring it up to this day, and I haven’t the heart to tell them that little boy me fabricated the whole thing for their amusement. I can still see my dad gesturing the “wanker” sign with his hand to super cop, shaking his wrist with one leg lunged inside the caravan door. I had no idea what it meant.

There was another path from this caravan park to the highest point on the island. I remember ankle breaking rocks embedded in the path and playing hide and seek in the thorny bushes that enshrouded it, scratching my arms and legs, pushing myself deeper in, determined never to be found. When I finally emerged the game was long over and the kids were playing something else. I felt foolish but also seperate from them then. I turned up the path and followed it for what seemed like a great time, all the way to the highest point on the island. And I was alone and it was sublime. I consider this the moment my consciousness turned on. I was young but suddenly aware of a great many things. For the first time I could appreciate a view, which you simply don’t when you’re a child.

Character Intro: Nerissa (Kingdom of Ichor)

Nicknames- Nessie by the others in the pantheon

Age- 20 (immortal)

Location- Tsunami district, New Olympus

Personality- She's independent and instinctive yet discreet. She prides herself on her incredible intuition, her cosmic "sixth sense." Even though she can be mysterious & elusive around most people in social situations, she makes good friends because she cares about those who are close to her. She's a lesbian & is currently single.

She has the standard abilities of a goddess. As the goddess of jellyfish, her powers/abilities include hydrokinesis (not to the extent of Poseidon), electricity generation and manipulation, constriction and paralysis inducement, anatomical liberation (can split her body apart, controlling the pieces), stinger protrusion (can generate poisonous stingers from her wrists and fingers), & being able to summon/communicate with/shapeshift into all species of jellyfish.

Nerissa lives in a mansion built out of pearl & sea stone in Atlantis. She has her own garden filled with bioluminescent sea plants and coral. Inside, she has a colossal aquarium filled with various luminescent jellyfishes- her pets. She also has a penthouse apartment in the Tsunami neighborhood of New Olympus as well as a beach house in Naxos.

She has a role in the Sea Council (the governing body of the Underwater realm) that is ruled under Poseidon (god of the sea & earthquakes). Nerissa works alongside Delphin (god of dolphins) & Palaemon (god of sharks). The four of them have a great working relationship (despite their differing political opinions) and a great personal friendship. Nerissa is definitely a bit more closer to Delphin as they both share their feelings on their love lives. They also like going out on the weekends to the Tidal nightclub.

She's one of the few water based deities that surfaces up to Olympius for the monthly council meetings. Nerissa always brings up issues related to aquatic environmentalism like water pollution, littering, oil spills, & excessive fishing.

Her go-to drink is a sapphire martini. She also likes a jellyfish (an alcoholic drink made by layering vodka, blue curacao, sambuca, & cream), electric iced teas (a drink made with blue curacao, lemonade, and lemon-lime soda), and an iced sea salt coffee (with no sugar & two creams).

Nerissa really admires the Titan goddess Tethys, calling her "an absolute vision." Her heart nearly fell out of her chest when the Titan goddess approached her during her induction ceremony. She also admires the group of sister goddesses known as The Nesoi.

In the pantheon she's also friends with The Muses, Philyra (goddess of perfume, paper, & beauty), The Hyades, Ganymede (god of homosexual love & desire), Ditus (god of bisexuality, effeminancy, & fertility), Britomartis (goddess of mountains, hunting, & fishing nets), Lyssa (goddess of rage & frenzy), and Tyche (goddess of luck). Nerissa doesn't really like Zeus (god of the sky, thunder, & lightning). She also doesn't like Poseidon's girlfriend Iphimedia, calling her a "stage five clinger." Neri greatly respects other elder water deities like Oceanus, Tethys, Hydros, Eurybia, and Aegaeon (god of sea storms).

For extra income, she models for Euryphaessa, Swimsilk & atelier fantaisie. A favorite treat of hers is a dessert sandwich made with two french toast slices, marshmallow creme, a dark chocolate spread, & jellyfish jelly. She also likes coconut ice cream sandwiches and blueberry vanilla frozen yogurt (topped with seaweed, candy coral, & sour gummy worms).

Some of Nerissa's favorite dishes include ahi poke bowls (with extra eel sauce & sriracha), salmon burgers with Olympian sized seaweed fries, sesame jellyfish salad, and twice-fried calamari rings.

She loves using the Glory's Crown ultra hydrating sea kelp shampoo and coconut oil conditioner for her long striking cobalt blue hair.

As far as romantic relationships, she likes to keep things casual. She doesn't mind the idea of being in a relationship, but isn't actively seeking one out either. Nerissa has had a few flings with some mermaids & mortal girls as well as crushes on Aphrodite (goddess of love & beauty), Thalia (one of The Graces), Carpo (goddess of autumn & fruits), and Nemesis (goddess of retribution).

One of the greatest gifts she ever recieved was from Poseidon during her induction ceremony- a jellyfish shaped ring made of white gold added with amethysts, pink sapphires, & diamonds.

Nerissa can play the electric guitar. She's also currently taking courses on being a DJ. Her favorite genres of music to listen to are electronic, trip hop, heavy metal, & glam rock. Her favorite band to listen to is Blood In The Water- a popular band in the Underwater realm made up of sirens and merguys.

In her free time she enjoys bodyboarding, surfing, jet skiing, cliff diving, playing video games, laser tag, & fishing.

She always looks forward to the Underwater Kingdom's Blue Moon Festival!

"I just love the serene brutality of the ocean!"

Sao Beach Phu Quoc shipwreck, Kien Giang, Vietnam

Phú Quốc is a very mountainous and densely forested Island of 1320 sq km; it is 48 km in length from south to north and has a population of approx. 103,000 people (2012). Situated in the Gulf of Thailand 45 km west of Ha Tien on the Vietnamese mainland and 15 km south of the coast of Cambodia, Phú Quốc is ringed with some beautiful beaches in Vietnam, and offers the best seafood in the country. Phú Quốc Island served as a base for French missionary Pigneau de Behaine from the 1760-80s, and at one time he provided shelter here for Prince Nguyen Anh (later Emperor Gia Long) when he was being hunted by the Tay Son Dynasty. During the Vietnam war there was little fighting here, but the Island was used by the Republic of Vietnam Armed Forces as a prison for captured Viet Cong. Phú Quốc is not really a part of the Mekong delta and also doesn’t share the delta's extraordinary ability to produce rice & fruit due to its soil quality and inaccessible terrain. It is, however, home to the best Fish sauce (nuoc mam) in the world, also reputedly known to produce high quality pepper and fantastic seafood. Another point of interest in Phú Quốc is the island's native dog; this dog was originally a wild animal and was later trained as a hunting dog by local people. These days they are very domesticated and it's unusual to go anywhere on the island without seeing one of these dogs! These animals have unusually sharp teeth (as they tear their food when they eat it rather than bite) and have claws that over the years have been conditioned for catching their prey and are razor sharp.

Official Cowboy Carter And The Rodeo Chitlin’ Circuit Shirt

Official Out Here in the Fields T Shirt

In the winter I can go snowshoeing, cross country skiing and downhill skiing and perhaps throw in a Official Out Here in the Fields T Shirt ice fishing. I’m not a hunter, but those who hunt will find deer and bear up the wazoo along with wild turkey, quail, pheasant, rabbit, coyote and many other game species. If you can’t bag game in New Jersey, then you aren’t a very good hunter. On the downside there is the traffic. It can be bad, but nowhere nearly as bad as some other places in the US where I have lived and traveled (hello Washington DC area and LA!). Taxes and cost of living are high. I’m paying $1,100 a month in rent for a tiny (700 sq ft.) log cabin that doesn’t have a single closet. It is also miles from any mass transit and the nearest supermarket. In may other states I can have quite a nice house for that money. It costs LOT to live in NJ.

Family Cruise 2024 shirt

If an hypotetical third invasion would have followed the same pattern of the previous two, the Mongol would lose again. Logistically, having a Family Cruise 2024 shirt based army crossing the sea is a nightmare, and this force the Mongol to follow a predictable route to land at the Hakata bay, twice. And despite their strenght, they weren’t able to make any significant victory in Kyushu, but suffered several defeats. So even by a tactical point of view, when the Mongols didn’t have an obvious numerical advantage, they lost all of their battles, like at Akasaka, Torikaigata or Mikuriya. The role of the kamikaze has been overblown by the defeated mongols and by the japanese clergy; in the first invasion, there is no mention in japanese sources of any storm, and in the second one, it was a final blow to an already defeated army.

Official Cowboy Carter And The Rodeo Chitlin’ Circuit Shirt

I can go out for dinner and within a Official Cowboy Carter And The Rodeo Chitlin’ Circuit Shirt hour drive I can find awesome Italian food, good French restaurants, German, Polish, Indian, Thai, Vietnamese, Mexican, Ethiopian, Greek or Malaysian food and may others. Granted in NYC you can probably find all of that in a 3 block radius in NYC, but it is nice to have. I can go to a supermarket and find jicama, lemon grass and other exotic ingredients. If I can’t find it in the supermarket there is probably an ethnic food store within a short drive where I can. I can spend a day at the beach with many thousands of others laying blanket to blanket, or go to Island Beach State Park where the crowd is controlled and the scenery and sand dunes probably don’t look a lot different from what the first European settlers encountered when they reached the shores of NJ.

Akira Toriyama Akira Toriyama Trendy Shirt

Kublai Khan’s military was in large part made up of Akira Toriyama Akira Toriyama Trendy Shirt Chinese quislings who served primarily as grunts while the Mongols were the officer corps. Kublai also managed to dragoon a number of Chinese and Koreans to serve in his navy. GK did manage to conscript a number of steppe peoples into his army but never felt the need for a navy. KK also wasn’t as destructive in his conquests as his grandpa was. i am also unaware that Kublai ever thought to embark on a mission of world conquest like granddad did. centuries later when the Japanese attempted the same trick in their conquests in China they had little success in finding enough quislings to serve in their occupation forces. Indeed it was even before it was officially the Yuan Dynasty. The proclamation of the Yuan Dynasty was the inevitable result** of Genghis Khan’s earlier conquests which started with the radical and comprehensive restructuring of Mongol society. This was also the reason he could rise to power. He was the son of a tribal chief, but due to misfortune and treachery his father died and he grew up with little status and at his lowest became a slave.

Five in the past the Battery Park City Parks Conservancy began offering free music and art events. Exmoor. Top Nam Định AZ 247 This National Park is the area of high moorland as well as the source of gushing streams.

Prince Edward Island

Welcome to Prince Edward Island, the smallest province in Canada and a hidden gem waiting to be explored. Our guide is designed to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of the Island, from its rich history and unique geography to its vibrant culture and must-see attractions. So, whether you're a seasoned traveler or a first-time visitor, we invite you to discover all that Prince Edward Island has to offer. The name "Prince Edward Island" was given in honor of Prince Edward, Duke of Kent and Strathearn, who was the father of Queen Victoria. It was originally called Epekwitk, which means "resting on the waves," by the island's Indigenous population, the Mi'kmaq. European settlers arrived in the 18th century and the Island became a British colony in 1763. Since then, the Island has been a haven for immigrants—Acadians, Scots, and Irish— who were seeking new opportunities. The Island has a rich cultural heritage that dates back thousands of years. Evidence of Indigenous settlements has been found along the Island's coast, where archaeological sites have revealed the remains of hunting camps and fishing villages. The arrival of European settlers in the 18th century brought new cultures to the island, and conflicts between the British and French resulted in the Island switching hands throughout the centuries. Today, the Island has a strong sense of cultural preservation, with many historical sites and museums showcasing its diverse history. Prince Edward Island is characterised by its distinctive landscape, with its rolling hills, dense forests, and miles of red sand beaches. The Island owes much of its geography to the last ice age, which shaped the Island's central plains and hills. The Island is also home to rich soil that makes it perfect for farming and growing a diverse range of crops. Prince Edward Island is located in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, northeast of New Brunswick and north of Nova Scotia. It is Canada's smallest province, measuring just 5,660 square kilometres. The Island's coastline stretches for over 1,100 km, with many picturesque lighthouses and sleepy fishing villages dotted along the shore. The Island's interior is a mix of rolling hills, pastoral fields, and lush forests that are perfect for nature enthusiasts.

Etymology

Prince Edward Island's name has an interesting history that dates back to the colonial era. It was originally inhabited by the Mi'kmaq people, who called it Abegweit, meaning "cradle on the waves". The Island's name was later changed to Île Saint-Jean by the French, who colonized the Island in the mid-1700s. Shortly after, it was named St. John's Island by the British. In 1799, it was named Prince Edward Island in honor of Prince Edward, Duke of Kent and Strathearn, the father of Queen Victoria. The Island's history of settlement is reflected in its name changes over the centuries, with each culture leaving its mark on the Island's identity. Today, the Island is commonly referred to simply as PEI, a nod to its official initials. Interestingly, the Island has also been featured in literature and popular culture.

History

Prince Edward Island has a long and storied history, dating back to the Indigenous peoples who first inhabited the Island. The Mi'kmaq were the first to settle the area, living off the land and sea for thousands of years. However, the arrival of European explorers and settlers brought significant changes to the Island's cultural landscape. French explorer Jacques Cartier first arrived in the area in 1534, but it wasn't until the late 1600s that the French established a permanent settlement on the Island. The French called the Island Île Saint-Jean, and for over a century, they developed a thriving fishing industry and established close ties with the Indigenous Mi'kmaq people. However, in 1758, British forces captured the Island from the French during the Seven Years' War. The British renamed it Prince Edward Island in honor of Prince Edward, the son of King George III. British colonization brought significant changes to the Island's social and economic makeup, with the establishment of a large plantation-style agricultural industry that relied heavily on the labor of Irish immigrants. The Island's economy continued to evolve over the next few centuries, with improvements in transportation and communication leading to growth in the fishing, forestry, and tourism industries. However, the Island's history has also been marked by challenges and adversity, including struggles over land ownership and political representation, and devastating natural disasters like the Great Gale of 1873. Today, Prince Edward Island is a thriving Canadian province with a rich cultural heritage and a vibrant economy. Its history can be seen throughout the Island in the form of historic buildings, museums, and cultural festivals. Visitors to the Island can learn about its past at sites like the Acadian Museum, the Eptek Art and Culture Centre, and the Green Gables Heritage Place, which is dedicated to the life and work of the beloved author Lucy Maud Montgomery. the Island's history is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of its people, who have overcome challenges and persevered through adversity to create a unique and vibrant culture.

Geology

Prince Edward Island, the smallest province in Canada, is a land of unique landscapes and geological features. The Island’s geology is shaped by its location in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, where the red sandstone cliffs and rolling hills have been formed over millions of years. One of the Island’s most notable geological features is its famous red sand beaches. The red sand is the result of iron oxide in the sandstone, giving the beaches a unique and striking appearance that draws visitors from around the world. The shoreline is constantly changing due to erosion and deposition, and has been shaped by the powerful forces of the sea and wind. The Island’s geology is also characterized by its many freshwater ponds and wetlands, as well as its peat bogs and grassy plains. These features are a result of millennia of glaciation, which also contributed to the creation of the many landforms found across the Island. One such landform is the rolling hills that dominate the central part of the Island. These hills were formed by the movement of glaciers and are made up of deposits of sediment and rock, including sandstone, shale, and limestone. The Island’s geology is important not just for its unique features, but also for its economic significance. The red sandstone found on the Island is used for many purposes, including building construction, aggregate, and as a decorative stone. the unique geology of Prince Edward Island is an important part of its identity and a source of both natural beauty and economic value.

Hike along cliffs overlooking the ocean, through lush forests, and across pristine beaches. Take in the stunning views and connect with nature. Fishing Adventures For those looking for a more laid-back adventure, try your hand at fishing. The Maritimes offer some of the best freshwater and saltwater fishing in the world. Cast your line and reel in a variety of fish, including salmon, trout, and cod. Embarking on a coastal adventure in the Maritimes is a great way to fully immerse yourself in the beauty and wonder of this region. With so many activities to choose from, there's something for everyone. Just remember to bring your camera to capture all the amazing moments! Exploring the History of the Maritimes The Canadian Maritimes have a rich and fascinating history that dates back centuries. From the early First Nations inhabitants to the arrival of European explorers and settlers, the region is steeped in stories and legends. Here’s a brief look at some of the highlights: First Nations and Early Settlement The Mi’kmaq people are believed to have been the first inhabitants of the Maritimes, living in the region for thousands of years before the arrival of European explorers. They had a deep connection to the land and sea, relying on fishing, hunting, and gathering for their sustenance. When European explorers arrived in the 16th century, they established settlements along the coast, including Port Royal in present-day Nova Scotia. The French and English fought for control of the region for centuries, with various treaties and agreements shaping the history of the Maritimes. The Age of Sail In the 18th and 19th centuries, the Maritimes played a key role in the Atlantic trade routes. The region’s many ports were bustling with activity as ships from around the world arrived to trade goods like timber, fish, and furs. One of the most famous vessels to sail the Maritimes was the Bluenose, a fishing and racing schooner that became a symbol of Canadian identity. Today, visitors can see a replica of the Bluenose in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. The Confederation Years In 1867, the Maritimes joined with Ontario and Quebec to form the Dominion of Canada, a political union that would shape the country’s history for generations. The decision to join Confederation was not without controversy, and the debate continues to this day. Today, the Maritimes are known for their vibrant music scene, delicious seafood, and stunning natural beauty. But the region’s history is just as fascinating as its present-day charms. Capturing the Beauty of the Landscape Choosing the Right Camera When visiting the Canadian Maritimes, you will want to make sure that you have a good camera to capture all the beauty around you. While it's true that a great photographer can take a good photo with any camera, it's important to consider the characteristics of the camera you'll be using. If you want to capture dramatic landscapes, consider a camera with a wide-angle lens. A tripod can also be incredibly helpful for keeping your shots steady and sharp. Timing is Everything The timing of your photoshoot can make a big difference in the final product. The golden hour, which is the hour after sunrise and the hour before sunset, is often referred to as the best time to capture landscape photos. During this time, the light is softer, the shadows are longer, and the colors are more vibrant. Composition is Key When it comes to capturing the beauty of the Canadian Maritimes, composition is key. Look for natural lines like rocks, trees, or winding rivers to lead the viewer's eye through the photo. The rule of thirds can also be incredibly helpful. Imagine your photo is divided into a tic-tac-toe board. Placing important elements at the intersection points can create a more visually interesting photo. Don't Forget the Details While the big sweeping landscapes can be breathtaking, don't forget to capture the small details as well. A close-up of a flower, a boat tied up at the dock, or a quaint fishing village can all add depth and interest to your photos. Experiment with Different Angles Don't be afraid to experiment with different angles and perspectives when capturing the beauty of the Canadian Maritimes. Try shooting from a low angle to capture the foreground in more detail, or from a high angle for a bird's eye view of the landscape. Embrace the Weather Finally, don't be deterred by less-than-perfect weather conditions. Overcast days can create moody, dramatic landscapes, while rain and fog can add depth and mystery to your photos. Embrace the beauty of the Canadian Maritimes no matter the weather! Discovering the Local Wildlife Introduction Exploring the Canadian Maritimes means experiencing the unique and diverse range of flora and fauna. The delightful wildlife of the region will undoubtedly steal your hearts and enrich your soul.

What To Expect When Moving To Manitoba

From the arctic tundra to prairie grasslands, Manitoba is home to amazing museums and interesting festivals. It is also known as the polar bear capital of the world. If you are moving to this province, there are many things to consider when getting to know your new home. Let’s take a look at what to expect when moving to Manitoba.

Overview

Manitoba has a population of just under 1.4 million. Of these, roughly half live in Winnipeg, which is Canada’s seventh largest city. Manitoba is well-known for its polar bears and cold weather but also features many lakes and beaches for fun during the summer months. It is also a wonderful place for watching the aurora borealis, which can be seen in Churchill over 300 nights a year.

The economy of Manitoba is largely driven by its natural resources. The southern half of the province is largely dedicated to agriculture including grains and cattle. Top products include sunflower seed, dry beans, oats, and potatoes. Forestry, mining, and oil are also major industries while tourism is a strong contributor as well.

Housing Market

The median home cost in Manitoba is $293,000, representing a slight increase over the past year. However, homes will cost a bit more in Winnipeg where the median cost is $390,000 representing a 14.7% increase. Condos in Winnipeg represent a cheaper option with the median price sitting at $233,600 at the end of 2021, representing a 16.1% increase over the prior year.

Average rent cost in Winnipeg is $1,050 for a one-bedroom apartment and $1,330 for a two-bedroom apartment. Both of these figures illustrate a increase of roughly 3% indicating that rent prices are growing much slower than home prices.

Culture & Recreation

Much of Manitoba’s culture is rooted in First Nations tradition. This is particularly true for the province’s musical and dance heritage. One dance, the “red river jig,” serves as a fusion of First Nations pow wows and European folk dance. There are many museums and festivals throughout Manitoba dedicated to preserving First Nations culture.

Manitoba is also home to some of the oldest arts centres in Canada. The royal Winnipeg Ballet is North America’s oldest ballet that is still in operation today. Meanwhile, the Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre is Canada’s oldest English language theatre. Winnipeg is the home to the majority of the province’s arts scene featuring these venues as well as the Manitoba Opera and Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra.

While there are a variety of festivals in Manitoba, one of the most popular is the Winnipeg Folk Festival which attracts over 70,000 attendees each year. The city is also home to Festival du Voyageur, a ten-day winter event that celebrates the nation’s French heritage and roots in fur trading. Finally, the multicultural Folklorama is one of the biggest draws in terms of tourism.

Manitoba is steeped in natural resources, meaning this is a great place for recreation. Whether you prefer hiking, kayaking, or geocaching, there are plenty of places to take part throughout the province. It is also a great location for hunting and fishing. Fans of winter sports will enjoy snowshoeing and cross country skiing.

Things to Do

There are plenty of amazing things to do when you move to Manitoba. In fact, it will take you quite a bit of time to explore this vast province. Here are some of the things we think you should definitely add to your to-do list.

Churchill. While your first thoughts may turn to Winnipeg, Churchill is a must visit in Manitoba. This town on Hudson Bay has plenty to do. You simply must take a polar bear tour where you can get face-to-face (behind protective bars) with the creatures. It is also a wonderful place for seeing the northern lights and even kayaking with pods of beluga whales. This is not to be missed.

Riding Mountain National Park. One of two national parks in Manitoba, this park north of Brandon provides a great location for wildlife viewing including moose and bear. It is also a great place for a romantic getaway to the town of Wasagaming on the shores of Clear Lake. During spring and summer, this is a great location for golf and boating.

Manitoba Museum. While Winnipeg has many museums, this one is perhaps our favourite. It is dedicated to science and heritage education and features a planetarium. The Science Gallery is a favourite of children with many hands-on activities to help them learn and explore various scientific principles.

Thermea Nordik Spa. If you are looking for some relaxation, look no further than Thermea. This spa has four outdoor baths, four saunas, an exfoliation room, a restaurant, and a lounge. However, what draws many people is the Aufguss Ritual, a German ritual that aims to create a multi-sensory healing experience.

International Peace Garden. A site celebrating the peace between Canada and the United States, the highlight of this place is the floral clock, which creates a unique design each year. The water gardens are another place not to be missed including the Sunken Garden and reflecting pools. This is a great place for picnics, hiking, and biking. You can also spot wildlife including deer and moose.

Final Thoughts Moving to Manitoba can be the start of a great new adventure. You’ll surely love your new home as well as the multitude of things to do.

After this event took place, white people started moving into these areas and making settlements there. In 1866, a group of settlers from Virginia founded a town named Dania (after Daniah), which is now known as Dania Beach. It was formed because of its proximity to Fort Lauderdale which was being built at that time. After its formation, many people started coming here to settle down. In fact, at this point in time it was considered one of the fastest growing cities in South Florida because of its beautiful beaches along with amazing weather conditions all year long which attracted thousands of visitors every year from all over the world who came here just to vacation or relax on our shores so they could enjoy some fun in the sun!
