Town of Tilting on Fogo Island (Newfoundland)
#1

Yesterday I went for a drive and ended up in the historic town of Tilting on the west side of Fogo Island. I just had to stop and capture this scene of a very old wharf and fishing stage at low tide. It is said that Tilting is one of the oldest settlements in all of North America. The town is designated a registered heritage district, the first time the title has ever been given to an entire community.

In the background you can see many homes built in the 1800's, with some even from the late 1700's.

I used my Sony Alpha with vintage Minolta 35-70mm f/4 lens. I had to do some tricky footwork to get down beside the wharf for the shot, resulting in two wet feet, but I like the results, so I won't complain too much!

Great composition, color and dynamic range.

I like it and I don't like it.
It comes over (to me) more as a line drawing as opposed to a photo. But I would be happy to have taken it. Smile

WOW! I can say dear Glen, I loved it. The composition is wonderful and the colours hit me. These houses seem to me so nice and so interesting. I can't believe they are built in the 1800s and 1700s, this is great. But the weather condition didn't give damage to them, bıt I am sure they are being protected, the waves, the winds, the snow, etc. Shouldn't be easy, I think. Anyway, I am talking aloud dear Glen, because really it is interesting for me, and I love to learn more about them.

Thank you so much,
Blessing and happiness,
with my love,
nia

I think this is a masterpiece. Your attention to detail really shows.
