Best Photos of Newfoundland
Back in 2002, Pat and I enjoyed a delightful tour of Newfoundland for several weeks. The following photos are a summary of some of our favorites. Great fun!

| Beluga Whale Patted with Shovel |

 |
| Blond Beluga Policewoman |
|
It was her job to protect this lost Beluga whale. He would follow the fishing boats into the harbor. The local fishermen made him into a sort of pet.
 |
| Blow Me Down |
|
The local winds become so strong that they once blew a train off its tracks. We were caught in it in our motorhome, and felt lucky to survive it.
 |
| Bottle Cove |
|
Good place to dock your fishing boat when there's a storm at sea.

If my memory serves me well, Caribou were eradicated from the Island by overhunting, but were re-introduced and now have healthy populations.

| Cox's Arm Where Fur Seals Were Hunted | |
|
We met a fellow on this walk who explained that he owns a cabin on the other side of this water. In winters past, this arm of water would freeze over and he could walk across on the ice to his cabin. From there, he could walk out on the ice and kill Fur Seal pups. He made good money selling the pup furs. But now the water seldom freezes and the seals are gone.

Notice the long, curved, freakish beak on this crow.

| Fisherman's Brewis |
|
Early Newfoundland had almost no roads. Most towns and communities were on the coast so to visit another community travel was primarily by boat. These folks were there to fish for Cod, they ate Cod, and they even kissed Cod. They dried the Cod, when it was not raining, to ship back to Europe. Brewis was made from Codfish too.

There are only about a half-million inhabitants of both Newfoundland and Labrador. So running into fellow hikers out in the woods is not a common occurrence.

Yummy! Early settlers saw these beautiful lobsters crawling on their beaches but would not eat them. They were considered trash animals that were inedible.
