O' Canada 
Hi Brett. I’m a little partial to this view since it’s just down the street. I run Quidi Vidi Lake regularly 🙂
Elizabeth, thanks for identifying this more precisely. I thought it was around the Quidi Vidi area but was uncertain and didn’t want to mislabel it. What a wonderful area to be able to run by on a regular basis. Best, Brett
Hi Brett. My first thought was that it was Quidi Vidi but wondering now if that’s accurate…could it be Petty harbour? I can’t get a good look at it on my phone :). Regardless it is a lovely shot of our beautiful province.
Gorgeous greens and blues…what a view!
Elisa, thanks!
That’s not Quidi Vidi Lake!!!!
Putting it out on FB. See if we can i dentify
Lola, thanks. It’s possible it’s further away close to the Trinity Bight area on the Bonavista Peninsula, another area that I was in on the trip when I took this picture.
I agree Lola. At quick glance I thought it was the village, not the lake 🙂 I was wrong thought clearly my iPhone was too small.
Lovely as always, Brett! Thank you for sharing one of Canada’s Eastern jewels! Cher xo

How old is this photo Brett! Someone mentioned Witless Bay. Were you there?
Lola, I know of Witless Bay and I’ve been near there but not to it. Photo was taken about 5 years ago.
I’ve only been to Newfoundland once and would love to go again.
Yes, a ruggedly beautiful place!
Fabulous photo. Do you pick out reds to photograph or do reds just come alive in your work?
Thanks! In this case, that little red fishing shack seemed to be calling out for attention!
That was my question, too!
This is beautiful! I’d love to paint this scene on location. Not with a computer mind you but with real paints…just like when I was young.
That sounds like quite a nice way to paint!
I would love to spend an afternoon at that spot! So picturesque!!!
Gorgeous capture – as you say, so peaceful! 🙂
I was just in NF last summer but I don’t know where this is. Petty Harbour seems right.
Lovely, I’m hoping we get there someday.
Brenda
I highly recommend it!
Beautiful! Brings back lovely memories of 10 days spent with only a handful of raindrops back 6 or so years ago…camped at Green Gardens in Gros Morne…moose walked through our site…probably the most stunning place I’ve ever pitched my tent. Thanks!
Sounds like that was a fantastic time!
Stunning view!
Very! 🙂
