Nova Scotia rocks


~ Out wandering around, I've found it interesting how there is a LOT of the same kind of rock out here. I guess the whole region is made of this stuff, and covered with a skiff of dirt. You see it in blasting areas beside roads, in landscaping walls, in foundations of buildings, and just in piles where they're working on stuff. Being not too smart in the geology department, I don't know what kind of rock this is, but I guess it has a lot of iron, because it seems to rust. There's also a lot of granite used in foundations, walls and outdoor stairs / stoops.
