July Morning

Canada Day began with silent and foggy morning. While walking along the lake it was nothing to see just grey backdrop. At sunrise the world revived and gained corners and edges. Happy Canada Day!

Cape Spear

Cape Spear, located on the Avalon Peninsula near St. John’s, Newfoundland, is the easternmost point in Canada. Cape Spear is close to Blackhead, an amalgamated area of the City of St. John’s, about 1.86 miles (3 km) away.
