peter b., a fella who worked for newfoundland tourism, suggested i try to head to the little town of whiteway on the shores of trinity bay on my way to st. john’s. he fired up his pc and showed me a picture of shag rock. one look and i was hooked. so what was supposed to be a leisurely drive towards st. john’s ended up being a bit of a marathon as it extended my trip on this day by a few hours.

alas, after i had checked in to my motel room and made my way to whiteway, the weather was not co-operating… everything was fogging over! ditto the next morning. i literally got up before the crack of dawn and made my way over to whiteway again. it was drizzling. when i arrived, everything was fogged over once again. 5 hours into my little excursion and i finally got this shot off – perseverance pays off! wouldn’t you know it? it fogged over some more afterwards…

in any event, there you have it – my take on shag rock in the waters of whiteway bay, newfoundand 😉
