Courtesy of Gros Morne


I just had to pull over and catch this landscape as the clouds scattered the last rays of the sun for the evening. Gros Morne National Park sure knows how to put on a show, and this was no exception. The clouds had threatened rain all day but the sun prevailed despite the sky's overcast sass. I find myself once again thankful for the splendor of West Coast Newfoundland (haven't been to the east coast, yet, sorry). From the forested, green hills and cliffs of Gros Morne, to the fossil-filled cliffs at Aguathuna (Agatuna? heh heh) on Port au Port Peninsula, and even down south to the beaches of Burgeo where I was shocked to discover that Newfoundland did, indeed, have sand! That sounds kind of silly when I type it but in my defense all the other shores I went to were completely rock. For provisions, I was lucky enough to have as a guide a veteran food-sleuth, sniffing out various berries at every stop in case we got stuck in the sand, I assume. Thanks Aud!
