St. Anthony Bight

The coast of Newfoundland is extremely rugged, with lots of promontories, and inlets. Many of the smaller, protected bays have little fishing villages in them. Just to the west of St. Anthony lies St. Anthony Bight. It's quite close as the crow flies, but it's quite a few kilometres of winding road to drive to.  In St. Anthony Bight we came across a parking lot with a trail down to a local park along the edge of the bay.  There were three large, flat, ice islands grounded in the bay, and the wind was blowing all the bergie bits toward the shore, grounding them along the beach.....

The kids immediately went down to the beach to check out all the ice.....

The closer to shore the ice, the more interesting the shapes they had melted into.....

I was shooting straight into the sun, which is not an especially good angle,
​and made for some very harsh contrasts....

I tried using a diffused flash to fill in the harsh shadows.  A bit too much flash!

Taking a closer look at the front edge of one of the ice islands....

...and more icebergs out in the bay....

Coco picked up a chunk of ice. "Look, it's filled with tiny air bubbles!"

We explored more of the northern peninsula that afternoon, but the dolls did not come out again. Jan photographed an interesting iceberg off L'Anse aux Meadows.....

,That evening we headed back to the end of the road in Goose Cove just as it started to rain.
​Jan captured part of a rainbow and it's reflection.....

That evening we witnessed another spectacular sunset out of our window....
