“In order for the light to shine so brightly, the darkness must also be present.” (Francis Bacon)

This lighthouse holds a very special place in my heart. Overlooking Rocky Harbour in Gros Morne, it’s a great place to visit and enjoy the most spectacular sunsets in Newfoundland.

It has a special mood, whatever the weather, a place unto itself, that draws you into its “shelter from the storm”. Windblown tuckamore clings to the cliff edge, and the washing of the tide on the shoal below makes dramatic music for the listener. Drive slowly, for you just might see a fox or moose as you head out in the last of the evening light. It’s been known to happen.
