Snowshoeing Fun!

Here is a few pictures I took back in April. I spent an afternoon snowshoeing! Hope you all enjoy the photographs and as always keep coming back for more!

Little Boats of Newfoundland!

These pictures are from a couple little adventures I took around the Avalon Peninsula. There seemed to be a nautical theme among the majority of the pictures. When I was looking at the pictures, I couldn't help but think of Roy Payne's song "Little Boats of Newfoundland" which you can listen to here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_qP-yRN4q4.

I hope you enjoy the photos and don't forget to keep coming back to see more!

Middle Cove Beach

Here are a few pictures I took from Middle Cove beach. I visited the spot in March and again in April and the frozen waterfall was awesome! 

I do apologize for not uploading since last year but unfortunately I lost a lot of my pictures that I took shortly after my last post. Sometimes technology is not my best friend haha. Anyways, I hope you all enjoy the photographs and make sure to check back soon for more!

Sunset Park

A couple week ago I spent an evening at Bowring Park. It was a great day with a breathtaking sunset, so I couldn't resist capturing a few photos. I hope you all enjoy the pictures and remember to alwas check back for more posts!

Capital Walk

I found these pictures a few days ago from one of the afternoon walks I took last month.  The pictures were taken around the Signal Hill area. I hope you all like the fall photos. Don't forget to check back for more!

Twelve Apostles

The Twelve Apostles is a collection of limestone stacks off the shore of the Port Campbell National Park, by the Great Ocean Road. Currently there are 8 apostles left but the name remains significant and spectacular especially in the Australian tourism industry. The apostles were formed by erosion: the harsh and extreme weather conditions from the Southern Ocean gradually eroded the soft limestone to form caves in the cliffs, which then became arches, which in turn collapsed; leaving rock stacks up to 45 meters high. Now because of this erosion there are less than ten remaining. The site was known as the Sow and Piglets until 1922, eventually became known as the Twelve Apostles, despite only ever having nine stacks. The stacks are susceptible to further erosion from the waves. On 3 July 2005, a 50-meter tall stack collapsed, leaving eight remaining. Due to wave action eroding the cliff face existing headlands are expected to become new limestone stacks in the future. 

This was one of my favorite locations that I visited during my trip. I couldn’t stop taking pictures. It reminded me of the Hopewell Rocks in New Brunswick, which I had visited a couple times before. I would definitely recommend the GOR as a must do, especially this site to anyone planning a trip to Victoria. This concludes the trip posts and I truly hope everyone enjoyed them as much as I enjoyed reminiscing of the adventure of a lifetime! Remember to come back for more recent pictures that I have taken. Although, one of my camera lenses has decided not to work so I feel I’m working short handed, but hopefully I’ll get the opportunity to get out soon if the weather allows me to do so. 

Loch Ard Gorge

The Loch Ard Gorge is part of Port Campbell National Park. It is a visible example of the process of erosion in action.  The gorge is named after the clipper ship Loch Ard, which ran aground on 1 June 1878 approaching the end of a three-month journey from England to Melbourne. Of the fifty-four passengers and crew, only two survived: Tom Pearce, at 15 years of age, a ship's apprentice, and Eva Carmichael, an Irishwoman immigrating with her family, at 17 years of age. According to memorials at the site, Pearce was washed ashore, and rescued Carmichael from the water after hearing her cries for help. Pearce then proceeded to climb out of the gorge to raise the alarm to local pastoralists who immediately set into plan a rescue attempt. After three months in Australia Carmichael returned to Europe. Four of her family members drowned that night. Pearce was hailed as a hero, and continued his life living until age 49. 

It is a beautiful location that allows each visitor the opportunity to stand in awe of the power of the waves crashing against the shore. While taking pictures near the surf I became distracted and not paying attention to the rising tide. Lets just say I happened to be caught by a couple waves lol So when my mother asked me if I dipped my toe into the water, I informed her that I didn’t get the chance, the water christened me instead lol There is only one more stop on this adventure! So remember to keep checking for it! I hope everyone has been enjoying my posts so far. Drop me an email if you have any comments or questions, and I’ll be more then happy to get feedback, especially from the viewers!
