Luxury getaways to the ocean's edge
Today’s great Newfoundland church is Corner Brook’s First United. Presbyterians in the area began meeting for worship in family homes as early as 1876, and then this church was built in 1889. I got this shot on a sunny day a few years ago, and it really was lovely.
Corner Brook is of course on our island’s west coast, and is a great city with lots to offer. It’s a long drive from the cottages, but a lot of tourists who come here like to rent a car and hit the road – a good choice!
So I am back in old St. John’s, and thinking about new (to me) Whiteway. I took these shots right before I left for my Gros Morne trip, and they made me think about the great Harry Hibbs singing ‘Little Boats of Newfoundland. Gotta love Youtube! Hibbs was a real Newfoundland treasure and it’s great to hear traditional music still so popular today.
Here’s some little boats another shot I took a few years ago, just outside Corner Brook. I’m sure you can get shots like this pretty much everywhere on the island!
