Some Photos From My Recent Trip

Last week, my dad came to Corner Brook for 10 days, and during that time we did some touring around the island, including a multi-day trip to St. John's. I'm posting a few select photos of that trip. They were chosen to accompany the "Reflections on Water" piece from a couple of days ago, but I'm only managing to put them up now. So they get their own post! I'm quite pleased with the photography on these. I took the three that don't have me in them, and my dad took the other one.


This is a shot of the landscape around the Bay of Islands,
which is the body of water that Corner Brook sits on.
This is on the way out to the mouth of the bay,
which empties into the Gulf of St. Lawrence.



This is me at Cape Spear, the easternmost point in
North America. I hadn't seen the Atlantic Ocean in
over 16 years. It looked the same.



This is Rocky Harbour, which is on the Gulf of St. Lawrence
and in Gros Morne National Park. There's a cute little lighthouse right
behind me as I snap this. We hit Gros Morne on a cold, rainy day.




This is a shot of St. John's Harbour from inside "The Rooms",
which is the provincial museum, art gallery, and archives
for Newfoundland and Labrador. Signal Hill is on the left,
where Marconi received the first transatlantic wireless signal.
Off to the right is Cape Spear. The figure in the foreground is my father.
