Beautiful scenery and colour Mike. Just hitting peak colour here in the UK but the peristant heavy rain we have currently will soon drop leaves and reduce the impact. Love your miles of straight road! The Romans built us Brits a few but our ancesters thought these to be boring and anything built afterwards, they built with lots of bends. I think its to make us concentrate behind the wheel😂. Our new national pastime is dodging potholes.

Those deep sky images are amazing. I can never even try something like that here in the netherlands. Plus I don't have a tracker like you do. Just one question are those star images one image? Or is it a blend of lots of images? I have no idea how it goes. Really loved those autumn coloured trees. Grt guido

I am curious, Mike. Are you shooting for 16X9 or 4X3? I mostly shoot 16X9 because I share primarily on the television monitor. Sometimes the composition just isn’t there for 16X9, though. My parents drove from Montreal to PEI every summer. We never seemed to have enough time to explore Nova Scotia. Now I realize that money was short, not time. :-)

Mike, I think you convinced my wife and I to make a return visit to the west coast of Newfoundland next year. We were there over 14 years ago and loved it. I think we will spend more time there this time. I must say though our recent June trip to the eastern side was spectacular for puffins and gannets. Are you encountering mosquitoes and black flies in August? We are Florida people but shy away from bugs, ironically we live on the Mosquito Lagoon on the east coast. Great photos!

Hi Mike, Beautiful shots !! I can't get enough Puffins, I just love'em!!😊 There is indeed a Stellars Eagle that has made it's new home in Trinty, if you take the boat tour they usually travel by it's new nest it began building this year. It's not seen everytime of course, but it is still here and has been photographed quite a lot this year. Apparently it is the only know wild Stellars Eagle living in the western Hemisphere, they are native to East Russia, East China and along that coastline down to Japan, if I'm not mistaken, possibly came through the arctic maybe lost its bearings in a storm ended up travelling south to Newfoundland instead of China or Japan lol, that's my best guess😅 A google search will return results with pictures of our adopted friend living in Trinty, she is stunningly beautiful.
