Sometimes a fresh perspective can remind us what's 'super cool' about P.E.I.

Crystal Cromwell sent us a photo, which you can see below, of a rather nondescript dirt road leading to a highway. She mentioned that she moved to P.E.I. from Ontario just 10 days previously.

"What a world of difference," she said. "Probably nothing special to you Islanders, but we thought this was super cool. Red road in the middle of nowhere, but with a stop sign."

We think it's super cool, too, Crystal. And thanks for reminding us not to take for granted things that truly are special about the Island.

Here are some other examples, sent in by Islanders who shared their photos with us.
