I have spent a number of years as a professional photographer around Newfoundland. I have enjoyed it very much and when I started exploring Newfoundland in Google Earth I was surprised to find few pictures of outport comunities. I decided to try to change that and my first inclination was to photograph wharves everywhere I went. However many communities don't have wharves or even water for that matter so I decided that pictures of churches probably represent our beautiful island as much as anything.

Nice Shot. This is actually the Anglican Church located at "Taylor's Room", Moreton's Harbour (My hometown).
That is a good plan. I did a similar thing for my (adopted) home town of Wisconsin Rapids. It is an under-appreciated place, and photography can draw people's attention to the beauty they miss.
Santa - everyone is waiting for you in the US. NORAD is tracking you for all of us. Welcome, you should be here soon.
This lovely woodframe Anglican Church has been replaced by a newer more efficient sterile building nearby. At the present there are several groups who want to save this building as a heritage site. I wish them well.
Those Bombardier CL215 waterbombers are now being augmented by newer Bombardier turboprop CL415 water bombers.
This plane crashed in St. Jophn's several years before. Our job was to move it over the highway to Gander where it is used as a training aid in the Aircraft Maintenance Program. The photo was taken when to avoid an overpass a detour was made toward Glovertown.
This wood frame structure doesn't have a corner stone so this tiny garden does the job.
This Calypso was the one before the WWI cruiser of the same name. This one was an 1883 corvette, here:

She was renamed "Briton" in 1901.
