Fort Amherst is located at the entrance of St. John’s Harbor opposite Signal Hill across the Narrows’. The Fort was built in the 1770’s to defend the entrance of the Narrows’. Gun placements were used at The Fort during WWII to protect the harbor from German U-boats. In 1813 a lighthouse was built at Fort Amherst and was to be the first permanent lighthouse established in Newfoundland. It operated until 1835 but was then replaced by a new structure in 1852, which was demolished in the early 1950’s to make way for the new lighthouse which is seen today. / More in this series / / / / / / / / Visit my website On The Rock Photography

The Cape Spear Lighthouse has been a guiding beacon for sailors since the mid 1800’s. This was only the second light to offer aid along any of Newfoundland’s rocky coasts, even though the island had at the time been populated for two centuries. / During the Second World War, Cape Spear took on a whole new significance. German submarines and raiders off the coast of the Island posed a considerable threat. A coastal defence battery, equipped with two 10” guns was constructed here to protect the entrance to St. John’s Harbor. The gun emplacements were built at the tip of the Cape and connected by underground passages to magazine and equipment rooms. From 1941 to 1945, troops were stationed here. With the end of hostilities in 1945, most of the fortifications were demolished but the gun emplacements stand as a sombre reminder of that important period in our military history / Visitors to Cape Spear in the spring and summer months should watch for whales, icebergs, and seabirds. / / Matted Print / / / / / More in this series / / / / / / Visit my website On The Rock Photography /

This year marks the 250th anniversary of the Sambro Island Lighthouse. Families, including cousins of mine used to live on the island all year round. There were two homes which are still standing, but barely. I believe the building you are seeing in this shot is where the families kept their supplies and storage. The island is said to be haunted by a man. I was quite disappointed to not have felt or seen something eerie while I was there. There is also a spot which looks to be carved out of the rocks on the island called the “Devil’s Footprints” The story goes that the devil walks up out of the water and walks up the rocks to the island. What the devil would want with a lighthouse I have no idea, but that is what I was told. The rock pattern is very odd though and quite something to see. The lighthouse is now run by solar panels and no human hands are needed. Even the fog horn is run by a machine that detects fog. Even though I did not see or feel a ghost, the island has a very lonely feel to it, an abandoned and sad spot. I couldn’t imagine being there alone….no, I just could not!

I took this shot in the ruins of Fort Amherst. The old fort that was once defended the city of St. John’s from German U-boats entering the harbor now boasts only 2 abandoned guns, crumbling walls & stairs encased in years of salt blowing in off the sea and this mysteriious lady. Was she a war heroes girl or just a portrait of a moderrn day graffiti artists sweetheart? / / A History of the Fort / / Fort Amherst is located at the entrance of St. John’s Harbor opposite Signal Hill across the Narrows’.

Standing high above the waves of the Atlantic ocean on the Isle of Lewis in The Outer Hebrides you will find this lonely lighthouse. Here on a Spring afternoon the waves of the Atlantic crash on the rocks below the lighthouse having travelled all the way from the USA or Canada. This is wild Scotland at its very best. Spend an hour or two here and just watch the waves as the sun begins to set.

I thought this shot was pretty all by itself but when I looked at it a little closer I noticed the clouds seem to make an arrow pointing out of the harbour. Cool huh? This is Halls Harbour, Nova Scotia, Canada. I realize I have quite a few images of Halls Harbour but I love the little fishing village. It has so much character and there is always a great shot to be found there.
