Location Taken: Barachois Pond Provincial Park, Newfoundland
Time Taken: July 2012
Barachois Pond is probably the most beautiful lake I’ve ever seen. Shrouded under the delicate clouds of Newfoundland, surrounded by magnificent forests, and watched over by the gentle Erin Mountain, it all comes together to perfection.
This photo doesn’t even come close to matching how beautiful it was in person. The sweep of the lake in both directions, the scale of the mountain in front of you, the marvelous breeze crossing the lake, all that cannot be captured in one photo.
It’s no wonder they made a provincial park centered on this lake, and nestled a campground on its shores.
It’s also no wonder that many of the campers I saw were long-term campers, with “This is the Happy Family plot!” signs out and furniture all over their site, with a satellite dish on the side of the RV. It’s enough to make me want to join them, travel around, living a month or two at a time in the most beautiful scenery around. It’s a modern nomadic life, and one that has a lot of appeal.
