Buildings can fit anywhere… when you are creative enough. — This building is in Salvage, Newfoundland where the coastline is rugged enough that many buildings require stilts. — Weirdly it makes me think of Delia Deetz’ sculptures in the movie Beetlejuice and how they came to life… maybe there’s a fantasy/horror/comedy movie in fishing stages crawling across the landscape? Maybe not. 🤔

Our Lady of the Snows church in Fogo, NL — This church was built in 1897 and was given a name that sounds perfect for blustery, wintery northeastern Newfoundland. The name, rather than solely being inspired by the place, was actually a reference to a church in Rome.

English Harbour Arts Centre in , logically enough, English Harbour (Trinity Bay). The building is the former All Saints Anglican Church.

St. Paul’s Anglican Church as seen from Fort Point in Trinity, NL. — I always call the area that I was standing Fort Point. It’s also know as Admiral’s Point. The point has been the site of fortifications since the mid-1700s so I think the name ‘Fort Point’ is well earned.

Seasons in Salvage, NL — September and March, specifically. Looking forward to getting back to the ocean so I can hear the waves… how/why did I end up living in a landlocked town?

This is St. Alban’s Anglican Church in Burnside, Newfoundland. I’ve always thought it was a beautiful building. It’s at the top of a gentle hill and it appears to look out over the community. It feels like part of the landscape. — Sadly, I noticed it seems to have some wind damage — the storms this year are taking tolls everywhere.

My new bud — Tucker. — He’s 8 weeks old and pretty curious. His older brother Murphy (my six year old black lab) is enjoying having a buddy to play with. It’s remarkable watch Murphy play gently with him — they’ve been playing tug of war with toys and I’m pretty sure Murphy could flick him across the yard but he doesn’t. — It’s pretty sweet.

Okay, I don’t want every day at the beach to be cloudy but, when the clouds look like this, it’s still pretty amazing. — I took this on Victoria Day weekend at Eastport Beach, NL

Happy Adventure boats. — Fishing boats tied up in Lower Cove, Happy Adventure, NL — You can read about the (many fabled) origins of the name Happy Adventure on my blog: https://ift.tt/bGlDcQw
