This photo is taken at one of my favourite places on earth, a small island called Exploits Island in Notre Dame Bay, just off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada. The island was once a thriving community, but over the years people resettled to larger communities, and now the place is used entirely for summer cottages and a limited fishing industry.
The hill in silhouette in this picture is called “the lookout”, since it is rather high and looks directly out over the Atlantic Ocean. The sunsets are frequently breathtaking here, and this picture is a good example of that!
i can only say I hope to see an image as beautiful as that again. I was honored to be able to visit Exploits Island this summer, and hope to return next year. I clicked many an impressive photo while I was there, as the area and people are stunning in their simplicity.
It is a special thrill to find a picture posted on the Web of a place that you have personally been to, especially one as remote as Exploits Island.
