I’m not clear on the answer to my question. Where’s the benefit to me in this equation? What do I gain from sharing my photos / stories from PEI? If you can answer that concisely and the benefit is genuine, then your site will most likely spread. If not, then it’ll probably fail. Personally, I haven’t clicked the link yet because I don’t see any value in it for me, it sounds to me like a government organisation not “getting it”.

Hi Callum,
I’m sorry if my comment seemed like spam. Our intent in creating http://www.shareyourpei.com was to offer a place where travellers could tell share their photos/stories from visiting the Island so that others can benefit from knowing more about PEI. I appreciate your feedback and hope you come back to visit PEI soon!

I understand you might benefit from my sharing my story. How would I benefit? From your message, I’m really not clear on the incentive to me. In my opinion your message reads like well intentioned spam.

Hi Callum,
I work on behalf of Tourism PEI and thought your road trip sounded fun! We’re looking to have travellers like yourself share their stories on the Island on our social media site http://www.shareyourpei.com. We’d love your input!

You’re right, it’s a lighthouse. I’ve updated the typo. Thanks.

Nice shots dude….think it’s a lighthouse not a windmill tho

You can tell windmills cause they have those big blade things sticking out of them, like the other pictures…and the trick with lighthouses is that there’s a great big light on the top of them. I use this helpful rhyme to help me remember:

Tall and slim with blade-like structures rotating around a central pivot equals windmill, big and white with a large luminescent bulb mounting flashing in a repeating pattern equals lighthouse.

Let’s be honest…it doesn’t really rhyme…

Can’t believe you went to New Glasgow and didn’t pop up to see Ann of Green Gables house! Still, not in quite the same league as by-passing Machu Picchu………. ahem.

Thanks loads for the pics Callum! Looks lovely. Makes me think of a sunny Holland for some reason (but slightly more hills!). JC.

Great pics and good to see Canada still has plenty of forest. They cut down more than Brazil I think. Next time you find that kind of cool weather remoteness will be in Patagonia, which is equally as spectacular. Don’t think there are any Scots but there is a Welsh colony there, fooled by the promise of good sheep grazing land! And they still do tea and scones in Gaiman or Trelew!
