Park in western Newfoundland in eastern Canada in July 2005.

We saw a moose and her calf while we were on a boat tour on Trout River Pond in Gros Morne National
Park.  In 2005, my camera had only 4X optical zoom and could not zoom in more to get better close up
pictures of these moose. This limitation gave me a strong motivation to buy a new camera with much greater
zooming power.
We saw a bull moose with big racks of antlers while we were on a boat tour on Trout River Pond in Gros
Morne National Park. The camera that I was using in 2005 had only 4X optical zoom and could not zoom in
more to get a closer view of this bull moose.

In my 2008 trip to Wyoming, my camera had 12X optical zoom and the photos of a bull moose are much better
as shown on my web page at:

We drove our car from USA into Canada through New Brunswick to Nova Scotia. Then at North Sydney in Nova
Scotia, we and our car got on this Super-Ferry operated by Marine Atlantic for the 6-hour ferry ride to
Channel-Port-aux Basques in southwestern Newfoundland. The Super-Ferry carries not only passengers but
also their cars, trucks and recreation vehicles between Newfoundland and Nova Scotia.

From Channel-Port-aux Basques, we drove on highway 1 to start our driving tour of Newfoundland from west
to east. After several days of driving tour of the beautiful Newfoundland, we and our car got on the Super-Ferry
at Argentia in eastern Newfoundland for the 14-hour ferry ride to North Sydney in Nova Scotia.

Then we continued our driving tour of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick before we drove back to USA.

The
GPS Navigator, described in another web page, has been very  helpful to me in such long driving tour to
many unfamiliar places for sightseeing and bird watching.
One of the two lower decks on the Super-Ferry for hundreds of cars, trucks and recreational vehicles. The
upper decks for passengers are somewhat similar to those of ocean cruise liners with various amenities such
as a big cafeteria, movie house, gift shop, snack bar, computers and Internet access, large and very
comfortable seats, observation deck, etc.

Information on the Super-Ferry operated by Marine Atlantic is available at the following website:

In touring the Newfoundland, we also toured the Witless Bay Ecological Reserve to see millions of seabirds
and toured the
Cape St. Mary's Ecological Reserve to see a very large colony of gannets on 300-foot cliff.

In the summer of 2005, we drove from New Jersey through New England into eastern Canada to tour New
Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. My photos and stories from the tour of Nova Scotia and New
Brunswick are on my web page at:

Sheer Cliff calved by ancient glacier
In Newfoundland, a "pond" means a major sized lake. For example, the Western Brook Pond as shown in
these photos has 42 Km of shoreline. Western Brook Pond, a freshwater fjord that was carved by glaciers
about 10,000-25,000 years ago. After the glacier retreated and the underneath land rebounded, it is separated
from the sea and becomes a freshwater lake (pond).
