Lloyd's Newfoundland Photos

: Name: Lloyd

My home is in Chamberlains, CBS, Newfoundland: a place close enough to sea so that I can go there to watch the glorious sunsets over the bay, and the other infinite variety of sights and sounds that are forever changing, yet forever the same. I'm not as young as I used to be and don't get around much any more, but I've had many wonderful hours of enjoyment with my Yasihca 44 TLR and trusty old OM-2. I've always enjoyed photographing wild flowers, particularly the smaller ones, many of which , albeit mostly overlooked and dismissed as weeds, are exquisitely beautiful. Digital photography, complete with all the magic of its own portable darkroom, has brought a new dimension to the hobby. My OM-2 is retired now, but it is such a beautiful instrument, such a joy to hold and behold, that I don't think I will ever want to part with it. My digital, used mostly, is a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ30. Its 35-420 mm Leica zoom lens can really reach out for those hard to reach shots. My photographs are strictly amateurish, but hopefully some have succeeded in capturing something of the moment that inspired them.

HEART'S CONTENT AT SUNSET.

This, and the following two photos mark the end of my tour around the Baccalieu trail. While passing through Heart's Content on the way home from Grate's Cove, it was just in time to catch this sight: a fitting end to a beautiful day.

SUNSET 2

While the drive around the Baccalieu Trail was a personal adventure, hopefully Newfoundlanders away from home who visit this blog will find some images here to evoke a pleasant memory.

WINTERTON , TB.

A really beautiful place. It is unthinkable that such outports are destined to slip into oblivion.

ANOTHER VIEW.

Another time. I made two visits to Winterton, Sept. 13th. and Sept. 17th.

BOTTOM OF THE HARBOUR.

OUT ON THE POINT.

Location of fish plant and main dock.

"How sweet the hour of closing day!

When all is peaceful and serene,

And the bright sun's retiring ray,

Sheds a mild lustre o'er the scene."

SUNSET.

TYPICAL OUTPORT CHURCH BUILDING.

From a time when heating cost was not the principal design factor.

A NEWFOUNDLAND PUNT.

The Newfoundland punt is without question one of the most aesthetically pleasing of all the designs of human craftsmanship. Art in its purest form.
