In a couple of days, I’m heading to the Canadian province (island) of Newfoundland for my summer vacation. This is my second of three trips to the Atlantic Ocean this year.

Why Newfoundland?

Well, it’s the only Canadian province I’ve not been to, it’s a photographer’s paradise, and I’m going with two of my best friends in the world. While it won’t be beach weather, I think I’ll experience the Atlantic ocean in a way I never have before; maybe even see some icebergs (it’s been a banner year for these). I’m very curious about what effects this rugged and wild landscape will have on me and my photography.

Fun Facts:

1. Newfoundland / Labrador is the easternmost province of Canada and the easternmost point in North America.

2. The island of Newfoundland is the seabird capital of North America.

3. The city of St. John’s, Newfoundland has one of the highest per capita concentrations of writers, musicians, actors, and comedians.

I’m also looking forward to the food, the people, the art, the hiking, and the music. And, of course, the photography. Hopefully, I’ll be posting a daily image on my Facebook page, Adventures in Seeing. For reading, I’m taking along this book about Newfoundland, Bay of Spirits, by Canada’s beloved nature writer, Farley Mowat (who died very recently).
