Newfoundland is one of my favorite places to visit because it is great for photography of wildlife, scenic coastlines, and quaint harbors. Years ago I visited Newfoundland with a friend and the next year conducted a small tour there that included Labrador. In 2023 another friend and I visited the Canadian island again. What I experienced on that trip convinced me to offer tours there again. In June & July 2024, I created and conducted two tours concentrating on the Avalon and. Bonavist Penninsulas. Below you can find the locations visited including St John’s, Quidi Vidi, Witless Bay, Cape St. Mary’s Ecological Reserve, St. Brides, Bonavista, and the town of Trinity. Images in this blog include photos from these locations.
During the week between the two 2024 tours, I visited areas I had not seen before–Change Island and Fogo Island, both north of the Bonavista Peninsula. In this blog, I included a few images from these islands. Also included are 3 icebergs photos taken in 2023 near Main Brook. Typically each year icebergs originate in Greenland and drift south in May & early June reaching Trinity Bay. But in 2023, the bergs never reached locations farther south than St. Anthony’s.
