Elizabeth Chambers visited Herring Cove, Nova Scotia, on a foggy Sunday afternoon and shot this photo overlooking the water. It was selected as the best submission on the theme of landscapes. Very interesting landscape. The fog covered coastline really gives you a feeling of the area as the grass and flowers really pop off the background.Elizabeth Chambers
