Exploring Fogo Island, Newfoundland and Labrador
Fogo Island is a cultural hub off the east coast of central Newfoundland. Home to several old fishing communities, including one that is also a National Historic Site of Canada, Fogo Island is a fascinating meeting of past and present. With a seafaring legacy dating back to the 1700s, visitors can wander through lush rural landscapes dotted with old fishing rooms. Home to world-renowned artist-in-residence programs, the island also boasts astonishing modern artist studios nestled among wild coast.
Exploring Twillingate, Newfoundland and Labrador
Twillingate embodies everything so many Newfoundland and Labrador outports are famous for: stunning coastline, historical, picturesque streets, culturally-rich entertainment and peaceful country roads. In the waters off the coast, you'll spy whales, dolphins, harp seals, seabirds and — if the season's right — icebergs. Twillingate is located alongside Iceberg Alley, a vast corridor of ocean that runs from Greenland. One of the best places to view all these sights is at Long Point

Newfoundland Scenery, A Photographers Dream

Some photos from our trip to the Port Aux Port Peninsula on the West Coast of the Island of Newfoundland in July 2009. I hope you enjoy it. Music is by Buddy Wasisname and the Other Fellers - Song for Newfoundland. A great song that depicts the spirit of Newfoundland and the people who call it home.

Newfoundland Trip

Newfoundland - On the Shores of Canada's Most Spectacular Coast
In Newfoundland, at the easternmost tip of North America, the landscape is pristine, dramatic, and very sparsely populated. In summer, icebergs occasionally drift along the steep cliffs. When the "Titanic" collided with an iceberg and sank just 300 miles off the coast of Newfoundland in 1912, the last radio messages were picked up in a small wooden hut on the Avalon Peninsula.

Today, most Newfoundlanders live on Avalon. There are particularly many seabirds here. In Witless Bay, the newborn puffins are ready for their first descent into the Atlantic. But some stray onto the coastal road, attracted by the lights of the hotels and restaurants. In doing so, they run the risk of being run over. A team of volunteers saves the lives of countless young birds: The Puffin & Petrel Patrol goes out at night dressed in high-visibility vests to collect the puffins. Biologist Sabrina Wilhelm then brings them back to Green Island, home to the largest puffin colony in North America. Here, the birds catch up on what they should have done long ago: the first dive of their lives.

What Happened to Gander International?
In the middle of the forests of Newfoundland lies the world’s former largest airport: Gander International Airport. But what was once a global aviation hub, a listening post during the Cold War, a loophole to the West and a refuge for stranded passengers during the 9/11 attacks, has fallen into oblivion. The film tells the story of how the inhabitants of Gander are gradually moving away from the great world stage and now have to reinvent themselves and their hometown.
