The blue square is misplaced. That photo could not have been taken from where the blue square is now. I happen to know this because my wife and I took dozens of walk up the steep hill along a narrow trail up to the place from where one can see the lovely view shown on the photo.
There was even a picnic table there in a small clearing among the trees. The small clearing is what gave charm to this place and provided a wonderful vista downward and far South toward the beginning of the Annapolis Valley behind the large bend on the water.
I do not know how to point to you on the map where that picnic table is with the view shown of the beach and shore below. I'll try this:
Looking at your top-right satellite photo and scale, the photo was taken about 4,000 feet south-west from the present location of the blue square, right about where the letter 'W' in White Water is located. That should be close enough.
I doubt this close-up photo of Delhaven Wharf would have been called Blomidon Harbour by early settlers or fishermen.
Again, I googled it and couldn't find any reliable source to support that name.
The better name, as I said before, is Delhaven Wharf (close-up photo). A real pretty place!
Just double-checked in the "Nova Scotia Atlas" (5th revised edition) sanctioned by the Nova Scotia Government, and the name of the exact locale where the wharf if located is indeed named Delhaven in the Atlas.
Now, this would not preclude people living in the area a century ago or more from calling it Blomidon Harbour. However, there is not trace of that name on Google search.

Thank you I will correct the spelling.

Twin photos 100% accurate. My wife took both photos.
Too bad the satellite resolution isn't sharper as in other nearby areas.

Typo only: read Blomidon, not Blomidin.

I think I understand your system better now: the location of the blue square is not the location of the place named in the caption.
Here we see Cape Split in the distance, but the photo is taken miles away to the south-east of the actual location of Cape Split.

Confirming this photo and caption are accurate.
