Hi Bill, I work at Cape Breton Highlands National Park and I am interested in using this picture in a presentation and on our website. It is a great shot and we want to show a picture with many moose in one shot. Thanks, Matthew Smith (matthew.smith@pc.gc.ca)
I don't know what happened. Someone challenged the accuracy of my original placement within Santiago-de-Cuba. I agreed that the new co-ordinates were correct but they were only across the street - not around the world.
At that time the area was quite dry and had been for a few years. Could be why las vacas estan flacas. The area looked much greener last December - 07.
On June 29, 1946 an RCAF flight lieutenant (Lt. William “Hugh” Mackenzie), was flying a Gloster Meteor from Kapuskasing in northern Ontario to Toronto. The Gloster Meteor was the first jet plane developed by the British and the only allied jet to see combat in World War II. His plane was caught in a severe thunderstorm and he lost his way. When the plane was about to run out of fuel, he made a crash landing in Helenbar Lake. Miraculously, he lived through the crash and managed to survive for three weeks on the shores of Semiwite Lake. Search planes never found him but he was rescued on Flack Lake by a fishing party from Laurentian Lodge. The pilot, who had made his way to Christman Lake heard the party and managed to gain their attention. Most of the aircraft was removed by the military, but the wing-tip fuel tanks can be seen at the end of the portage on Helenbar Lake. They are now protected by the Provincial Parks Act. This accident was the first jet plane accident in Canada.

Thank you for this lovely photo, Bill. I am also from Cuba, and have also loved Newfoundland and Labrador. Greetings from Miami, Mary

Nice pic. I went to this place last year and actually went under the falls...was nice!
