Newfoundland 2005

Flat Stanley and I walked down the trail to the edge of the Cape and watched for whales. I saw one, but the guide said a bunch had been out in the morning, playing around with the dolphins. Stanley enjoyed checking out the flowers growing up on the cape and even the historical remains of a battery from World War 2. The fog began to blow in and quickly covered up the lighthouse. There was no mistaking the fog horn though! It sounded every 50 seconds for 7 seconds. I know - I'm a nerd - I timed it!

I love lighthouses, fogged in or not, so that didn't deter me from taking photos. We spent a weekend in a lighthouse fogged in last summer at Cape Race. What an adventure!

More Cape Spear

Cape Spear was the site of a US Army base in World War 2. There are vestiges of the base still present - a battery on the sea side of the lighthouse.

Before the fog rolled in. I was able to capture this photo of both luighthouses at Cape Spear. The new one is the one on the left.

The came the fog and I was able to capture a couple photos. One day I am going to be brave enough to walk on that lower path under the lighthouse.
