Whenever I fly home, I love sight-seeing and touring around like I’m a new visitor. My Mom is the ideal person to tour around with because she likes to drive off and explore new areas, unlike myself where I haven’t driven past certain points as I’m afraid of getting lost.
One of my favourite spots to go when I’m home is Cape Spear, or otherwise known as the most easterly point in North America. With incredible views of crashing waves, the sea salt swarming the air, and the crazy gusts of wind forever messing up your hair.
The two lighthouses were built in the 1800’s, and it’s a joy to go walking around the area especially checking out the old World War 2 bunkers.
For now, I’ll let the beauty of the photographs take over. Enjoy the view.
Have you ever visited the East Coast? Or even better — Newfoundland?

This place looks so cool! I love the lighthouses and old bunkers. It reminds me a lot of Marin Headlands just north of SF. There are bunkers and stuff you can walk around at too.

I am so jealous, your photos are beautiful! I absolutely love lighthouses! Now I am going to have a hard time concentrating on my last hour of work – I will be dreaming about lighthouses and the water!
Wow these pictures are beyond amazing!! That looks like it was the perfect day! Fall is my favorite time of the year :)

You are never very far from the ocean in Newfoundland and your GPS will work quite well. Awesome pictures, love the blues in the sky and the ocean.
My husband is in the Coast Guard so we are BIG fans of any and all lighthouses. Comes with the territory.
Your photography is great, I really felt like I was right there walking with you.

Beautiful pictures! It must be a really cold place during the winter. I have been to the East Coast of Central America in Honduras. In North America I’ve only been in the Miami Airport. And here in South America just Ecuador, Colombia and Peru. But I do wish to travel to the eastern parts some day too.

Gorgeous! I love lighthouses! I live in Cali and make it to the Point Reyes lighthouse at least a couple of times a year! You took some awesome photos!

Gorgeous pictures, love the lighthouse and the clear blue skies. I live in Ireland and have discovered most of the castles and sites down south, I need to explore the more northern counties :)

Sometimes it’s so nice to just pour over someone elses photos. These are gorgeous and Mum’s are such good companions for things like this!

Dark and mysterious, yet sooo beautiful!
I could get lost in a paper bag so I don’t often venture out by myself either. It looks beautiful! I’ve been to North Point, in Barbados but it’s nowhere near as far lol this island is too tiny. Looks like you had a lot of fun!

Gorgeous!! I’ve been all up and down the east coast but I’ve never been west. One day I hope to make it over to the west coast and take a trip north –> south exploring it all.
