Labrador



I was in Labrador for a couple of weeks this fall as part of an investigative drilling program for a proposed tunnel across the Strait of Belle Isle. The following pic is at Fox Cove after a nice snow fall:








I went for a walk on a nearby beach and this is what the sign says... watch yer step!







Tallest lighthouse of its kind in Atlantic Canada!! Point Amour, if you want to look it up. Amazing sunrises and sunsets. really amazing. I wish I had a good camera to get good photos, but you get the point.



Driving into Red Bay. Historic place, used to be a huge whaling center.




Pinware River - famous for salmon fishing. It was very very loud, and the air smelled so fresh. I think this was November 22, and it was about 8 degrees celcius.



Lanse au Claire - I stayed here for a few nights when I first arrived.


Lanse au Loup - I stayed here with Francis and Dot Barney.
