Paint Party Friday - Gros Morne ACEO

Welcome to Kristin and Eva's Paint Party Friday!

I saw a photo advertised in the newspaper and it caught my attention:




This is Gros Morne National Park, Newfoundland and Labrador.  It is a glacier-carved fjord 2000 feet deep, which started to form about 485 million years ago. I don't think I'd be standing anywhere near the edge like that!

Please stop by the other participants to see what they did today!

  28. Beautiful rendering of a place I truly love and would someday luv to visit and most probably never return. Apparently it's beauty and serenity takes one's breath away for a moment and then they are totally mesmerized!
    My husband, kids and I have talked about moving to Newfoundland, no one really likes the hot weather here but unfortunately before we really got a chance to make that decision he got a job out west.
    Thanks for sharing a rekindling a dream.
