seriously -you don't know???
well allow me to provide today's lecture:

'Bluenoser' is used to refer to residents of Nova Scotia. Popular belief is that is comes from the Schooner 'The Bluenose' which was a famous fishing schooner and never lost a race. It's on the Canadian dime but that's a different lecture and I must not digress .

the term bluenoser actually came from fishermen. they had knit blue mittens and when they rubbed their noses when out to see the dye came out of the mittens and onto their noses.

there aren't you glad you asked. Of course our noses are not blue anymore....

Nope ... didn't know that. Not something very important to know in Australia I guess

Good to hear it's not derived from some strange habit of sticking your nose somewhere weird at least!

I had heard of the Schooner (think it's the same) because someone here had mentioned that once before.

lol no I guess it's not important in Brisbane. If you come here though that wee bit of knowledge might come in handy

Nice capture. If you want to improve more you can add some contrast and warm up teh colors a bit. Maybe tweaking a bit the white balance
