Originally named Ile des Fougues by Portugese explorers in the 16th century, Fogo Island is Newfoundland's first Provincial Heritage District, with many historical sites. Even though it was still raining, we went out to explore the island, and take pictures in the rain. The canon at Fogo Head Battery served as the perfect setting for Rex.... There was also a canon aimed out to sea at Tilting.... I wasn't sure if Rex was on patrol, since he wasn't exactly wearing a military uniform, or if he was just standing there contemplating a voyage out to sea. But that could be determined later... In the town of Fogo itself, there was a lovely old 'cottage' surrounded by stone walls, which looked to me to be straight out of some BBC historical drama.... A perfect setting for Bianca.... Without any kind of story in mind yet, I wasn't sure whose house it was. Probably not her's. Maybe an elderly aunt, or grandmother? And was she coming or going? Only time will tell.

Martha, oh my goodness, what incredible photos. The colors you selected for Rex and Bianca's clothing blend in perfectly with the cannon shot and the historic house. How did you know? Wow.

Dull colours work everywhere, especially on a dull, rainy day.

Thanks! It was fun discovering places that would make interesting backgrounds for these two dolls. I've never done anything 'historical' on location before. Comments are closed.
