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. 🤔

I have not been to my favourite place in twenty years. I recounted twice — I don’t feel old enough to say twenty years ago, and it doesn’t feel that faraway, not when I can smell it.

Brackish, briny, rotten — a stench made sweet by nostalgia.

It doesn’t belong to just one place — fortunately. When the cold Atlantic wind carries that old familiar hum to me, my head tips back without a thought, letting my lungs fill to the brim,  and with my eyes closed, I can see

the ugly, bile-coloured bundles of Ascophyllum nodosum clinging to the round beach rocks in varying stages of decay,

brittle to slick.

Seaweed tangled with worthless ocean gems that still line my window sills

small, round, earthy snail shells rusty-coloured crab backs and claws faded indigo, pearlescent mussels bright green, stippled urchin eggs parched bodies of starfish soft, bleached twigs of drift wood and frayed gull feathers.

I remember pinching the swollen bulbs of wet rockweed branches  between my fingers until they burst  with a spray of salty dew and a timid, deflating “pissss.”

I remember hoisting the reeking kelp up with a stick, and flinging it back into the shallow cove.

I remember the way my grandfather pronounced it  with two syllables — kel-lup.

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.

I know they’re both set in Newfoundland, but I wasn’t expecting a reference right off the bat in episode one, nice!
