Goose Cove - Newfoundland
Goose Cove is a tiny settlement near the tip of Newfoundland's Great Northern Peninsula. There really is a cove here, but because of the angle this photograph was taken from, you just can't see it. However, I took the shot here because I was captivated by the late afternoon light on the hills and houses when the scene opened up before me.
I've been here a number of times before, but not during the spring ... or, considering what our weather is like this year, maybe I should say winter. There is a short walking trail which begins where the road ends in the settlement. That trail is a great place from which to see icebergs and whales in season. During the summer of 2011 when the Petermanm ice island (PII-A), which had earlier broken off the Petermann Glacier in Greenland, had reached this area, literally hundreds of bergs could be seen from that trail. I have shots of some of them here on my photostream and if you search "Goose Cove, Newfoundland" here on Flickr, you will see lots more.
