Blue Rocks Nova Scotia

Blue Rocks is a small village on the shores of Lunenburg Bay in Nova Scotia. It stands to seaward of Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, somewhat to the east. For many years a fishing village, it was discovered by many artists and photographers (Including Joseph Purcell, William E. deGarthe, Jack L. Gray, Wallace R. MacKaskill and others) beginning in the 1940's. Today the village boasts many artists, and there are also numerous guest houses to be found among the fishermen's dwellings.
