Bridge Construction KAP (#1 of 3)

To the right here in this photograph is the end of the estuary of the Grand Codroy river in Western Newfoundland. To the left, is the Atlantic Ocean. A bridge used to connect one side of the river with the other, but it was removed because it had deteriorated. There was some buzz that the government wasn`t going to replace it ... which would have been a big inconvenience for the people living in the area, not to mention for tourists that visit the area. This estuary is perhaps the most productive of the few estuaries we have on the island and is the province's most important wetland. It is also received a designation of a Wetland of International Importance under the Ramsar Convention on May 27, 1987. Anyway, whatever happened ... political pressure, common sense, etc ... it is now being replaced with a new bridge. These shots were taken with my KAP rig.

 

As an added note, about midway along that narrow neck of land is where I photographed the Great Blue Herons two years ago.
