Luxury getaways to the ocean's edge
Saturday’s we like sharing pictures from Bud Vincent, a great Newfoundland photographer. He says he loves taking pictures of boats, and I can see why. I love the way he captures the stillness and beauty of this traditional Newfoundland scene (if you have more interest in traditional boat building, please check out the Wooden Boat Museum in Winterton, near our cottages – we did, and we loved it).
Here is an old Newfoundland fence like I had never seen before. Made with riddle rods (sometimes called wriggle rods), they were quite common around the bay a few generations ago. There are small sticks weaved in and out over three horizontal sticks (called longers or lungers). They require no nails and are extremely sturdy and designed to withstand high winds.
This is an amazing privacy fence we have under construction – we’re planning to build more!
