Signal Hill Sunrise Ceremony, St. John’s Newfoundland. / / This was taken on Canada Day. Many Newfoundlanders mark the date of July 1st not as Canada Day, but as Memorial Day, the date of remembrance for the Beaumont-Hamel battle. / / On July 1, 1916, the first day of the Battle of the Somme in World War I, 801 soldiers of the 1st Newfoundland Regiment rose from the British trenches and went into battle at Beaumont-Hamel, nine kilometers north of Albert in France. After only 30 minutes the regiment was devastated. Only 68 men stood to answer the regimental role call the next morning. / / In November of 1916 His Majesty King George V granted the title “Royal” to the Newfoundland Regiment. No other regiment in the British Empire was awarded this signal honours. Today the site of the battle is known as Newfoundland Memorial Park. / / ..................................... / Click here to add me to your watch list. / .....................................

A view of Cabot Tower on Signal Hill, located at St.John’s Newfoundland
-
This photo was taken from the the bottom of Gibbet Hill Lookout on Signal Hill, next to the Visitor Interpretation Centre. During the war this cannon, among others, was one of the defenses for the St. John’s harbor in Newfoundland. This spot offers an amazing view of the Narrows, Fort Amherst and the Southside of the harbour, and is part of a National Historic Site in Canada. / With access to a variety of hiking trails, and located near Cabot Tower and the Johnson Geocenter is it a lovely spot to visit while touring St. John’s. Also taken using Colin Tobin’s camera, a canon xti. Thanks Colin! / Some small adjustments were made in lightroom 2. I adjusted the color of the sky somewhat, and I used the program Gimp to remove a jet stream that was taking away from the clouds and sky.

Taken from Signal Hill, this is a photo of Cabot Tower, in St. John’s Newfoundland. Cabot Tower was built in 1897 to commemorate the 400th anniversary of John Cabot’s discovery of Newfoundland. / In addition to being the site of harbor defenses for St. John’s from the 18th century to the Second World War, Signal Hill was the reception point of the first transatlantic wireless signal by Guglielmo Marconi in 1901. He received the letter “S” in Morse Code sent from Cornwall, England. / Cabot Tower is now the center of the Signal Hill National Historic Park, Canada’s second largest historic park, with walking trails, and an interpretation center. Special Thanks to Colin Tobin for use of his camera and the lessons! In the buyer’s booth you can see what a printed card of this image looks like courtesy of Sharon Perrett. Thanks Sharon!

I could read the thoughts in her eyes, I’m here and you’re there and let’s keep it that way! These two moose were grazing peacefully in a boggy patch on top of McKenzie Mountain on the Cabot Trail, Cape Breton Highlands National Park, October 2005. Getting along towards sunset and just lucky(?) enough to stumble across them and get a couple of shots. And very carefully retreat!Taken with a Sony DSCF828 camera.

Title from a section of a poem by Lilla Cabot Perry (1848 -1933) My love dost see this little pale blue flower? / I plucked it where the summer fields stretched wide, / Sun-kissed, embraced by hills on every side, / In purple distance stretching to the sea. / There sprang my tears at the swift thought of thee

October 5, 2005, the slope of North Mountain on the Cabot Trail, Cape Breton Highlands National Park, Nova Scotia, Canada. The highlands of Cape Breton Island provide unbelievably bright colours at the peak of the fall season. Winds off the North Atlantic, with onshore fog in the far distance,combined with bright sunshine, make the slopes turn into carpets of living colour. As an artist friend of mine said,” if I did a painting exactly like this, people would say I overdid the colours”. Tours come from all over North America specifically to do the Fall Colours Tour of the Cabot Trail. / Sony DSCF828 camera.

on the Cabot Trail, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. The world-famous Trail forms a rough circular route around the northern part of the Island, including most of Cape Breton Highlands National Park. From ocean level to mountain tops, the Trail is an amazing vista of scenery. This part of the road is heading north up the western side of Cape Breton, following the slopes of Cap Rouge. The water is the Gulf of St. Lawrence which washes the western coast. / The shot was taken in mid-September, 2006, when the hardwoods were starting to change into their autumn colours. / Sony DSCF828 camera.

At the northern tip of Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada, is the very tiny village of Capstick, and this is one of the neat little country homes sitting close to the shores of the Atlantic Ocean. With it’s private waterfront, sandy beach, neatly mowed lawns and the colours of the autumn trees around it, it would be hard to find a more peaceful and serene setting for a home. Of course, it’s also secluded. To get to Capstick, one has to travel over the Cabot Trail, which encircles the northern part of the island and contains Cape Breton Highlands National Park. At the top end of the Trail, you must go onto another road leading to Cape North, Bay St. Lawrence, Capstick and Meat Cove, all very scenic and very secluded. But to get away from the world for awhile, it’s hard to find a better way, or one that is relatively accessible. / Taken with a Sony DSCF828 camera in September 2006. This image was in the Top Ten of the “One if by land and two if by sea..” Challenge in the Group “A Place To Call Home” Your image has been FEATURED in Communities!

The Cabot Trail is a world-famous drive which encircles the northern part of Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada. It’s named after John Cabot of Bristol, who is thought to have landed on the eastern (Atlantic) side of the island in 1497. The Trail starts and ends at the village of Baddeck, on the Bras D’Or Lakes, Though it’s a spectacular drive at any time of year, autumn adds the glory of amazing colour, as the hardwood trees turn into their fall foliage. But time is short, the first Atlantic gale will strip many of the leaves, so if you go, mid to late September and to about the middle of October is the best. / This photo was taken near Grand Anse,in Cape Breton Highlands National Park, but every turn of the road is another vista. / Taken in early October, 2006, with a Sony DSCF828 camera.

I visited this area many times over the last 20 years to photograph this very scene, usually in the dark after twilight. I was there two nights ago and I couldn’t resist shooting it again as the sun set. I was also fortunate this time to have the lights from the two cars which passed by, one up and one down the hill, aligned so nicely. This is taken at “Ladies Lookout” atop Signal Hill, St John’s Newfoundland Canada. “Ladies Lookout” is so named because from this very point women would for generations walk there to look for signs of their men returning from the fishing grounds, the Grand Banks of Newfoundland. You can only imagine when Mother Nature unleashed the mighty North Atlantic the humility these people must have felt!
