This picture was taken August 22, 2006 right after getting off the boat on the right from a tour of Western Brook Pond in Newfoundland, Canada. The 'pond' (actually a huge lake/fjord) is located in Gros Morne National Park and an amazing site for many reasons but mostly because fjords are really cool (and fun to say!) How can you not be seriously impressed by the towering cliffs and an immense lake in a glacially-cloven valley? Once aboard the boat you travel back between the cliffs in the background and tour the 16 km 'pond' (with a depth of 165m) . The earth showing both it's beauty through waterfalls and its terrible, crushing wrath with evidence of landslides. Fun! The lake itself is only accessible via walking trail and, I believe, even the boats were assembled on-site. (Sony DSLR-A100, f/10, 1/250, ISO 100)
