Light At The Light
A small change of pace from the Fall foliage photographs I've been uploading.
We went north on Route 430 yesterday looking for some Autumn color to shoot, but there's hardly anything left up that way. When we left home in Corner Brook it was 18C. A beautiful day. But we weren't out of the valley before it got extremely foggy and the temperature dropped to 9C. After we came down on the other side of the Mountains in Gros Morne, though, it did get sunny and warm again.
By the time we made our way back down off the Northern Peninsula, on the way home, the fog we had encountered earlier was gone, but it had almost completely clouded over. Except for a large hole out over the ocean where some really neat crepuscular rays were shining through. We were in the vicinity of the Lobster Cove head lighthouse near Rocky Harbour, so I decided to make a small detour ... hoping that we would make it in time before the light rays had disappeared ... and that it would be possible to get the rays and the lighthouse in the same shot.
From the parking lot there's a short walk out to the lighthouse and by the time I got there and got myself oriented to shoot, it was like someone had turned a switch and the light rays just disappeared! We waited around for awhile and the light show did return ... not quite as good and along with four tourists who sort of got in the way of the shot I wanted. Anyway, I did manage to get a few useable images.
