Icebergs

Scenics

On Saturday we went for our first hike along the East Coast Trails. We took the trail beginning in Quidi Vidi and walked towards Logy Bay. We only hiked part of the trail and then turned back and drove to Cape Spear to get a closer look at icebergs.
I took the first photo looking towards Cape Spear from the East Coast Trail in Quidi Vidi using a telephoto lens. The boat and the seagull happened to be in the right place at the right time! The second photo of the same iceberg was taken from Cape Spear and you can see the pack ice in the background.
The third photo was taken from the top of a hill along the East Coast Trail and, as you can see, you can get a fantastic view looking west towards St. John’s. In this third photo, to the right you can see Quidi Vidi Lake and in the immediate foreground is the village of Quid Vidi. The ocean, to the left, is looking towards Blackhead and Cape Spear.
For good measure I am throwing in a photo of the Cape Spear Lighthouse. If you look closely in this photo you can see someone taking a photo of the lighthouse and in the distant foreground there are three icebergs, although only two are visible (barely) in this photograph.
Many people from Newfoundland head south this time of year to soak up the sun after a long winter. However, the beauty of our Province is really something to envy (especially on a sunny day) and for those of us who didn’t travel to the sunny south, it was great to get out and soak up our own sunshine and fresh air on this Easter weekend.

Middle Cove Ice Cubes

I paid a visit to Middle Cove a few days ago. It was just a terrible drab day weather wise but not too bad for photography. The wind was high and the ocean was in a rage and it was quite the scene to behold as there were bits of iceberg all over the beach. I think these photos speak for themselves. Note the pattern of the waves as they wash over the beach in photos 2 and 3.

Newfoundlanders like their ice cubes big:).

The people in the last photo give you a sense for just how big the pieces of ice are in size.

Tors Cove Icebergs

Photos taken this past Saturday. One of the very few sunny days we have seen this year. Our weather continues to be just terrible.

Blackhead & Middle Cove Icebergs

Top photo taken Monday evening at Blackhead near Cape Spear. Second photo taken in foggy Middle Cove today.

Beginning and End

I took the first photo looking towards Cape Spear this morning on my way to work . This evening I drove to Cape Spear and took a photo from the opposite direction and looking towards Signal Hill. I think the the two icebergs in each photo are the same.

Quite a contrast in photos though. One taken at the beginning of the day looking in one direction and the other at the end of the day looking in the opposite direction.
