Wreckhouse
Geologists say that the Appalachian Mountain range here in Newfoundland once rivalled the magnificent Rockies on Canada's west coast. But over millions of years they have been worn down by erosion ... of which glaciation played a large part. But even though our mountains here on the west coast of the province can't compare to the Rockies, they are still pretty impressive ... in my opinion.
This was taken in the same area as the last photo I uploaded, but much nearer to the area that here in the province is known as Wreckhouse. If you live in Canada and have listened to The Weather Network, you have probably heard Wreckhouse mentioned at times. It is well known for its high winds. Tractor trailers, campers, and even trains (when we had them) have been blown over or off the tracks. The area has an interesting history. You can Google it or you can find a photo on my website that I uploaded some years ago.
