A SUNRISE IN NEWFOUNDLAND

Posted on by

 

From my Blackberry 9700 (Yes, I finally upgraded from my trusty PALM Pro). One of the most spectacular sunrises I have seen in the last couple months. I wish I had brought a real camera.

But the water looks REALLY cold.

The above was shot from Signal Hill, the spot where the inventor Marconi sent the first transatlantic wireless message. (Correction: I presumed he was Canadian immigrant, he was actually an Italian Fascist).

It is also the spot where the British finished off the French in 1762.

And the spot where many European bound ships left to help fight the Nazis.

Great place. New time I will being my 200mm, maybe I will see a whale.

  1. I love how many countries claim people like Marconi. although not sure you really want someone who was a memberof the Italian Facist Party and had Mussolini as his best man.

  2. Thanks Martin. That is the problem with blogging while sitting having breakfast in a restaurant! It was good Canadian streaky bacon though ….
