The Right Place And Time
Sometimes you are simply at the right place at the right time. All the planning in the world is of no help. When weather changes as frequently as it does in Newfoundland, it is hard to conceive of an image in advance and then go try to make that image. Sometimes you need luck... and you need to be at the right place at the right time.
It was a little past eight o'clock after a long day of hiking. We were driving back to our cottage in Rocky Harbour when we saw the sky start to light up. And... we had just driven past a scenic overlook. What luck!! We made a u-turn and zipped back to the parking lot of the overlook. I worked quickly to get the camera and tripod set up since the light was changing fast. I made several attempts and liked the image above the best of all.
At first we had the place to ourselves, but slowly a few more cars had the same luck we did. They were at the right place at the right time too. They quietly joined us and we all watched the light show eventually fade into early evening.
This is the last of the Newfoundland images I will share on the blog. Please visit my Newfoundland Page to see more images (you'll see Puffins!). I hope you enjoyed this "trip" to Newfoundland as much as we did! We recently came back from a trip to Glacier NP and Banff... so I hope that is what you will find in the next blog post.
