Explore the beauty of Mother Nature's amusement park
Part of Newfoundland and Labrador's charm is its natural, unspoiled beauty. Our rivers, ponds and bays provide us with fun fishing expeditions, while our vast wilderness is a hiker's dream. Even our long winters provide endless hours of fun spent sliding, snowmobiling, skating, snowshoeing and much more. Have a look through these outdoor activity shots, to see how our readers enjoy down-home living, outside.
Curious Whale! (1161 views) While out whale watching in Bay Bulls in a small open boat, this curious whale decided to try to get to know us a little more than we were comfortable with! As I was curled up in a ball, screaming, my boyfriend managed to capture a smile from the humpback before he nudged the boat and swam off! There were seven humpbacks in total around our boat that day!
This picture was taken during a small hike I took on May 4th, 2013. I climbed up into the hills behind Petty Harbour knowing that the view would be spectacular - but did not expect such a pristine sight. The houses look like toys from that height and it truly makes one appreciate the beauty that our province has to offer.
