A Canadian soldier challenged me to visit his homeland, Newfoundland. I took him up on it. Walked into his parent's house, where in the kitchen sat his old man, and his mom, and that young officer. His father was in WW2. Artillery man. Showed me all his medals. Two brown bottles sat on the table and when I sat down his father uncorked both bottles of rum. Home brewed rum mind you, and we had to cut it with water 50/50 (on advice of the son). I don't remember most of the rest of the trip but I came away with a deep respect for the land, and the people of Newfoundland. Fell in love with the place. My liver, not so much.
@@patrickpalmer4691 He truly was an exceptional person....very well respected and loved by all he came across. That stuff was PURE liquid fire, though...ha...You probably had the kind they screech you in with.....I can't touch that stuff. Thank you though....I'm really glad you felt so welcomed here and enjoyed it so!
I lived in Newfoundland (a Brit) for nine years, 2003-2012, and loved every minute of it. It is one of the most unspoilt and naturally beautiful places I have ever been. The people are the friendliest I have ever met, and are so caring and helpful to ‘come-from-always’ . Glad you got to visit and photograph Newfoundland, Gavin. What a place. 👍
Another great video Gavin. I’m the fan you and Amanda met at the Irving gas station in Corner Brook. My wife and I had a good laugh at the skit. We hope you had a good time in Newfoundland and come back again.
I appreciate it so much. In a video full of gorgeous shots and excellent film making, it means a lot that nailing the pronunciation was the most satisfying part for myself. Cannot stand hearing "New Finland" from a lot of videos.
As a Newfoundlander, we were raised to love another as we would want to be treated and we were taught the value of helping our neighbors and if we continue to do that we would always hold what we value most and that is our respect. We learned to laugh at ourselves before we can laugh at others. I am proud of where I came from and it served me well as I lived in other provinces when I left home to find work and always carried my values with me. I would never walk into a store without holding the door for the ones behind me. I am back home after getting married and wanting to come home to give them the comfort of going to bed and walking the trails and having the feeling of being safe and secured. Thank you for this video. I love this rock and that is where I will live the rest of my life like so many others who have left, but came home for the love and the beauty of what so many takes for granted.
It was like this growing up for me but I don't know if it was the area and the Catholic side but I was limited on who I could hang around with. Many pretended to like each other until out of sight. I remember my nan peeking out the window looking at what the neighbour was doing to judge them and tell Pop and then to their face, best kind lol. It is getting a bit lost on society here but in a good way at time since most are accepting while growing up now. The come from away-ers though in my old town, if an immigrant, were gawked at and there was racism if they were to move there. Most were doctors. The immigrants were the ones I wanted to have around to learn from and dated one of the very few in my town. I'm on the Avalon now. Immigrants are the norm and I love it, I love multiculturalism.
@@BrendaPenton Yes, I am also on the Avalon but I grew up in the town of Massey Drive just outside of Corner Brook. I went to school there and in elementary school I do remember the fights with the Anglicans from my Catholic school, but all my friends as I grew up and able to be outside on my own were Anglican. Now we all live in harmony and it was just kids doing what the others did. Nice to meet you. what part of the rock are you from?
It is interesting knowing and understanding some of Newfoundland's story and connections with North Sydney & Sydney Cape Breton Island Canada. Yes, Newfoundland has had a long relationship with Canada! For many years before Newfoundland joined Canada in 1949 Newfoundlanders took the Newfie Bullet to join the SS Bruce for a voyage across the Cabot Strait to North Sydney Cape Breton in time for Canada's Dominion Day Celebrations. The SS Bruce was the first vessel of the Alphabet Fleet and a lovely ship to the mainland of Canada. So, for the folks who wonder why Newfoundland joined Canada perhaps we have deeper connections and a deeper relationship than some neo revisionists think? Also, in winter and evenings all year 590AM and 570 AM VOCM can be clearly listened to in Sydney Metro, Nova Scotia. Their talk show is rebroadcast during evening hours, with a wonderful host who is even tempered and so much fun to listen to. A guy who sounds like he loves both Newfoundland & Canada.
So many youtubers out there let their success go to their heads and get a bit snobish. The fact that you two can run into fans and put them on camera for some fun speaks volumes of how good of people you are. Looking forward to the rest of this adventure.
I just came across your video, and I'm in awe of the things you were able to capture. It's not just because I've been living here most my life, it's just some days I forget for a moment, how fortunate I am to live on such a beautiful island on earth. Thank you both for your kindness, and stunning imagery. You are forever welcome here, I hope the rock is kind to you both, cheers! 🍻❤
We love our island! We only joined Canada in 1949. prior to that we were a British dominion. Our island has deep roots to the English, Irish, Scottish and French as well as multiple Indigenous groups that all play a hand in our history, our many dialects and our modern day culture! The rugged coastline is always photo/video worthy. Bottle Cove is the best place to go for sunsets and boil ups (campfires with a pot of water and seafood) on the beach. The small trees in Bottle Cover are known as tuckamore trees. You took the trail in Bottle Cove called "Trails End", if you had have continued to the right and not the left, you would have come across some of the most beautiful scenery! That was certainly Moose poop, but they are more inclined to avoid you than attack you. There are many reasons why our roads are terrible, the main reasons are simply the geography and climate. You went from Bottle Cove on the eest coast to Chance Cove at the beginning of the Avalon Peninsula and didn't share any footage of the trip across the island? Did you make it up to Gros Morne? I would love to know more about your journey here. If you ever come back this way, message me on here or look for my socials and reach out to me, I'd love to take you both on a complementary guided tour of the west coast from Port aux Basques up to L'anse aux Meadows, a fun 3 day trip which will include visiting 2 UNESCO sites and a trip back in time to the days of the Mi'kmaq and Beothuk first peoples of the Island! I'll also get you "Screeched In" and make you both honorary Newfoundlanders!
Yes we do have bears in Newfoundland. Mostly brown bears. Even the moose is not native to the island. It was brought in years ago. Yes, we do get polar bears at the odd time. Don't plan your trip on seeing one. They are rare sightings. If you wanted to see larger mountains Gros Morne was the place to go just North of Deer Lake heading up the Northern Peninsula. Less than an hours drive North. Just a bit more than half an hour before Corner Brook heading west.
We don't have brown (grizzly) bears. We have black bears, but it's rare to see one these days. Back before they closed all the municipal dumps they were easy to see/get pics.
@@roysnow6943 I stand corrected. You can see them along rivers. My dad shot one by his cabin. He made the mistake of putting a grub box outside his cabin. While he was building it. So he got permission to shoot it because it became a nuisance and threatened people in the area. Grizzlies are actually a subspecies of brown bear, Ursus arctos horribilis, found in dense forests, alpine meadows and mountain valleys. The principal distinctions of the grizzly are its physical appearance and diet. It takes its name from the 'grizzled' blonde-tipped fur that grows along its shoulders and back.Nov 18, 2019
I've been waiting for you to visit my home province! I'm currently living in Australia and I miss 'home' so much...fog, potholes, wind and all! I am a hobbyist photographer and really enjoy your videos, and love your humor, and Amanda's as well. Keep up the fantastic work.
I was in Newfoundland for the first time in April as I headed out there to try to get some shots of the total eclipse (got some...barely) as it looked like Newfoundland had the lowest angle on the eclipse before it headed off into the ocean. It didn't really strike me until I got there how much potential there is for landscape photographers. I probably picked one of the worst months to shoot as everything was brown and it was too early for icebergs, but I will definitely be back. I think it's an amazing spot for workshops and I hope you will do more there in the future. I shot a small fraction of what was there, and even someone like Gord Follet...who LIVES THERE...would tell you that there is so much more left to explore. Can't wait to go back, possibly in the Fall or in the early Summer to get some icebergs and puffins! What an amazing island!
Spent 3 weeks tent camping in Newfoundland exploring both east and west coasts. I found the most common sign along the roads read: CAUTION POTHOLES AHEAD. This sign is soooooo true! Aside from that, Newfoundland has the most beautiful Landscapes anywhere.
Newfoundland will test you in a number of ways dude...your poor stairs! Definitely keep your eyes out for Moose while driving, it's wild over there. It's an amazing place! Looking forward to the videos to come! 😎📷
Gavin and Amanda (or is it Amanda and Gavin?). Another wonderful video. Thank both of you for your sense of humor and the wonderful photo tips. I also road trip with a camper and it’s always an adventure. Can hardly wait for the next video.
I live and shoot in Newfoundland .Next time visit Bell island from fossils to sea stacks. It is a old mining town that filled the furnaces in sydney with iron ore .It's a Great place for great Landscape photos :)
Thanks for sharing your adventure to Newfoundland Gavin, the relationship you both share is amazing you are so close, Amanda made that very clear in the cabin, ha ha ,Exire looks really good, thanks, you really struggled with the conditions, trying to get the images that you wanted, I think it is important to show the failures also ,looking forward to the next one mate, without any disasters hopefully.
Terrific! Looking forward to more bergs. Had no idea the trip from Nova Scotia to Newfoundland would be so long. So unfortunate about the loose bits, luckily you're handy with tools. Nice drone work. Congratulations on the sponsor! More please.
OOf, that ferry ride. They moved up our departure time the week before to 7:30PM, then was delayed to almost 9PM. We rolled into Port aux Basques at 2:30AM in the pouring rain with Homewrecker winds(Wreckhouse winds, but that was the joke I'd always crack myself up with while there). At least we knew a week ahead if time so our first couple days stay was all the way over in Bonavista to maximize our time there...
I don't know how moose droppings differ from deer or elk or caribou, but another sign to look for is bark stripped off a tree as though it's been sheered off, anywhere from 6-9 feet up.
Those are some of the best video shots I've ever seen of an iceberg at 0:14 and 0:37! 😍 I'm talking better than NatGeo and BBC earth series. Great music choices too.
Absolutely stunning location. Your drone footage was amazing. I’m looking forward to more of these views. Bummer about the camper stairs. Cheers Gavin 👌
Thank you, Gavin and Amanda, for making me laugh, properly, pretty much every video. When you're a semi-old fart there's not much that gets you chuckling anymore. You guys are the best, been following you for years and years and years. Also, the photography, locations and compositional studies is just lovely and always inspirational or gets one reflectiing on one's own stuff! Whatever you guys do, don't stop!
Looking forward to future videos on Newfoundland. We are going back soon after 2 years to spend time on the rock in the Gros Mourne area. It is a unique part of Canada. Kiss the cod !
Wow just a few min in ❤🎉❤😂 & loving it, wonderful comments too! Gorgeous cinematography 📸 & humour 😉 I dated a Newfie for 2.5yrs (met in Toronto, I'm from an ISland 🏝️ too, albeit a tropical one!) 20+yrs ago, he was like a California Surfer dude with a heart of gold, from a small town 5h from St.John's We visited his hometown in 2002 for a week (jumped into the cccold Atlantic Ocean in July, spontaneoulsy jigged cod (surprise for me!) & I got also got surprise screeched IN, on a nearby ISland (kissed the cod) then danced the Newfie Jig with practically every fella in town! LOL 6h of fun at the town dance that evening, what a blast ~ the nicest ppl & the landscapes of the ROCK are indeed Majestic! "Dem nippers are sum big" 😅😊😉 (those mosquitos are big)
Absolutely wonderful video! Love a good road trip 😀 Newfoundland looks like a very interesting and beautiful place. I look forward to following along with the adventure! Cheers
"Room" ??? "Portcullis" ??? Good god ! Visited Botwood and Dalhousie back in the last century; nice places. Hope your van holds up till the end of the trip .Bought Excite Photo 2024. Looks good. Thanks for the code.
Appreciate pronouncing it correctly. So many people say it incorrectly, and it shouldn't bug me, but tbh, it kind of does, especially when its 3 separate easy to say words, just put together.
Always look forward seeing you and Amanda on your photo adventures. Beautiful scenery and great photos… most of the time. (This time was the exception! Still enjoyable though!)
Gavin, you and Amanda should come visit South Africa. Good chance you will be blown away by the landscapes over here, and also an opportunity to meet you. Great video.
Been looking forward to this series from Nefoundland. Spent 3 months there last summer and fell in love with the place. Can't wait to see you work your magic with your photography!
I must admit I stumbled on your video and couldn't stop laughing at your humor and quick whips, Really hope you enjoy your visit, Laughing to myself as I turned down a few trips I could have done to newfi land but really enjoyed your video . I will be subscribing to watch more ❤❤❤❤ wess from manitoba Canada. 😊😊😅
Looking good Gavin! I've always wanted to see what the Princess Auto stores looked like in Nfld. Lol. Keep up the good work and keep the adventures coming! Cheers.
Great vlog and very amusing. Love the berry and barley juice references. At 3:17 you almost look like Ernie McCracken from King Pin. Sorry just hope you know who I mean?😂
Brilliant video as always have been watching you for a long time now and your videos get better. Of course Amanda is the star of the show 😂😂 See you next time, looking forward to receiving my book..😊
Great video , the ladder , too funny , it couldn’t be fixed ? The stainless steel alone is worth it. Amanda’s keeps us laughing as usual, I knew when you shut the lights out , the next time you turned on I know Amanda would be beside you. 😂😂 is that bad ? Looking forward to this trip of yours enjoy guys.
The roads sound like the ones in the UK at the moment! I used to flit back and forth to Canada for work and sometimes the plane would land at Newfoundland to pick up and deliver mail, the landing was pretty hairy slam the plane down sharply then hang on whilst the pilot navigated the craters on the runway! Great video looking forward to seeing more!
im from newfoundland and any time im telling people there like OH your from Canada my response is always the same technically. haha its defiantly a big difference then mainland Canada culture landscape history just about everything is different. :). oh yea your the first none newfie to say newfoundland right so good on ya
Hi, we due à Newfoundland Roadtrip right now from the 1of june to 15 of july...hope to due some good Fotos like you do ....we are a big fans of you and Amanda ....well and of Thomas of corse...😂take care
Awesome looking place especially with the fog looks very cinematic and spooky just like out of a film. Almost a bit like Filey. I wish I had got a caravan there.😊
I've never heard Morten Hilmer even hint that a mountain or a trail was too rough or steep or that he might not make it.😁 But it has been many years since I was at the age where I was omniscient, omnipotent, and immortal. Now, if I get both feet on the floor in the morning it is an accomplishment. Take good care of yourself and Amanda, Gavin. No picture is worth killing or maiming yourself to get it.

I lived in Newfoundland (a Brit) for nine years, 2003-2012, and loved every minute of it. It is one of the most unspoilt and naturally beautiful places I have ever been. The people are the friendliest I have ever met, and are so caring and helpful to ‘come-from-always’ .

Agreed
Another great video Gavin. I’m the fan you and Amanda met at the Irving gas station in Corner Brook. My wife and I had a good laugh at the skit. We hope you had a good time in Newfoundland and come back again.
Thanks for being a good sport Keith ;)
That was a great moment in this video! Always interesting to see who else enjoys these on you tube. Looks like one hang of a place for some adventure.
wow. This is the first time I heard an away person pronounce Newfoundland the way we do! Cheers.
I appreciate it so much. In a video full of gorgeous shots and excellent film making, it means a lot that nailing the pronunciation was the most satisfying part for myself. Cannot stand hearing "New Finland" from a lot of videos.
I love when tourists visit our province and showcase the beauty. Sometimes it takes videos like this to reminds us what’s all around us. Thanks

A+ for your pronunciation of Newfoundland!

Our island has deep roots to the English, Irish, Scottish and French as well as multiple Indigenous groups that all play a hand in our history, our many dialects and our modern day culture! The rugged coastline is always photo/video worthy.
Bottle Cove is the best place to go for sunsets and boil ups (campfires with a pot of water and seafood) on the beach. The small trees in Bottle Cover are known as tuckamore trees. You took the trail in Bottle Cove called "Trails End", if you had have continued to the right and not the left, you would have come across some of the most beautiful scenery!
That was certainly Moose poop, but they are more inclined to avoid you than attack you.
There are many reasons why our roads are terrible, the main reasons are simply the geography and climate.
You went from Bottle Cove on the eest coast to Chance Cove at the beginning of the Avalon Peninsula and didn't share any footage of the trip across the island? Did you make it up to Gros Morne?

I'll also get you "Screeched In" and make you both honorary Newfoundlanders!
keep watching and you'll see some of the hotspots you mentioned ;)

47 years li ing here and I haven't seen ot all yet. Lots more to see
Great Trip and wonderful drone footage Gavin!
You're welcome to move here permanently whenever you want. We love sharing! ❤
Stunning Gavin, just stunning !!! Not your hair... the photography.
Dang! We missed you and Amanda! Been watching past adventures to get my Fototripper fix. Always anxious for your new videos!
Outstanding drone footage at opening of video. Safe travels !!!
Great first episode! Looking forward to seeing the Newfoundland series! Wish we would have run into you and Amanda.
Gavin and Amanda (or is it Amanda and Gavin?). Another wonderful video. Thank both of you for your sense of humor and the wonderful photo tips. I also road trip with a camper and it’s always an adventure. Can hardly wait for the next video.
I love like you guys are always having fun!
Brilliant video as always have been watching you for a long time now and your videos get better.
Of course Amanda is the star of the show 😂😂
I'll be close to St Johns on the coast for a couple of weeks in July. Looking forward to seeing your entire series of your trip.
Chance cove road is brutal. I live 10 mins away and dread it !
Great video! 😮 Thank you for the weekly Sunday evening "awes" and laughs 👍
I live and shoot in Newfoundland .Next time visit Bell island from fossils to sea stacks. It is a old mining town that filled the furnaces in sydney with iron ore .It's a Great place for great Landscape photos :)
Thanks for sharing your adventure to Newfoundland Gavin, the relationship you both share is amazing you are so close, Amanda made that very clear in the cabin, ha ha ,Exire looks really good, thanks, you really struggled with the conditions, trying to get the images that you wanted, I think it is important to show the failures also ,looking forward to the next one mate, without any disasters hopefully.
That opening drone footage was fantastic!
Terrific! Looking forward to more bergs. Had no idea the trip from Nova Scotia to Newfoundland would be so long. So unfortunate about the loose bits, luckily you're handy with tools. Nice drone work. Congratulations on the sponsor! More please.
Very funny, Amanda is a star. I'm happy to see you starting a new set of video's in Newfoundland.
Thanks, Gavin for another entertaining video. Also, the Excire software is amazing, And so is their customer service support.

Absolutely stunning location. Your drone footage was amazing. I’m looking forward to more of these views. Bummer about the camper stairs. Cheers Gavin 👌
I love your road trip photography videos. The drone footage was excellent!!
Amanda really carries this channel , tbh
Perhaps it should be renamed to NewFUNland. Looks like an amazing trip if this first epi is anything to go on 😍😍
The correct pronunciation is ''Noo-Fun-Laynd". We've been told.
Thank you, Gavin and Amanda, for making me laugh, properly, pretty much every video. When you're a semi-old fart there's not much that gets you chuckling anymore. You guys are the best, been following you for years and years and years. Also, the photography, locations and compositional studies is just lovely and always inspirational or gets one reflectiing on one's own stuff! Whatever you guys do, don't stop!
You are most welcome.
Visited Newfoundland many times...great place and good people! That software didn't find any lettuce with the iceberg prompt however....
I'm from Greenland, you're so welcome here 🙂
Awesome episode - can't wait for the next one. Nice to see you two back on the road again.
We had polar bears here on the burin peninsula just a few years ago. They can show up anywhere really, haha😊
Looking forward to future videos on Newfoundland. We are going back soon after 2 years to spend time on the rock in the Gros Mourne area. It is a unique part of Canada. Kiss the cod !
Thank you Gavin and Amanda, another great video
on alot of roads in newfoundland you drive on both sides to get away from potholes
Thanks for reviewing the Excire program. I just installed it and it is awesome.
Wow just a few min in ❤🎉❤😂 & loving it, wonderful comments too!
Gorgeous cinematography
📸 & humour 😉
I dated a Newfie for 2.5yrs (met in Toronto, I'm from an ISland 🏝️ too, albeit a tropical one!) 20+yrs ago, he was like a California Surfer dude with a heart of gold, from a small town 5h from St.John's
We visited his hometown in 2002 for a week (jumped into the cccold Atlantic Ocean in July, spontaneoulsy jigged cod (surprise for me!)
& I got also got surprise screeched IN, on a nearby ISland (kissed the cod) then danced the Newfie Jig with practically every fella in town!
LOL 6h of fun at the town dance that evening, what a blast ~ the nicest ppl & the landscapes of the ROCK are indeed Majestic!
"Dem nippers are sum big" 😅😊😉 (those mosquitos are big)
Landscapes, laughs, and magic software. You've outdone yourself.
Absolutely wonderful video! Love a good road trip 😀 Newfoundland looks like a very interesting and beautiful place. I look forward to following along with the adventure! Cheers
"Room" ??? "Portcullis" ??? Good god ! Visited Botwood and Dalhousie back in the last century; nice places. Hope your van holds up till the end of the trip .Bought Excite Photo 2024. Looks good. Thanks for the code.
Hope you enjoy it.
Thanks Gavin. Its grinding through my 9 gigs of photos as I type :-)
Appreciate pronouncing it correctly. So many people say it incorrectly, and it shouldn't bug me, but tbh, it kind of does, especially when its 3 separate easy to say words, just put together.
Wonderful video! Hopeful those are your only camper breakdowns this trip. 🤞 Looking forward to the rest of the series.
Always look forward seeing you and Amanda on your photo adventures. Beautiful scenery and great photos… most of the time. (This time was the exception! Still enjoyable though!)
Less camper more amanda
Gavin, you and Amanda should come visit South Africa. Good chance you will be blown away by the landscapes over here, and also an opportunity to meet you. Great video.
Agreed. I love the shots Alex Nail got from Drakensberg.
My favorite photography channel. Great video. You and Amanda make an awesome comedy team. LMAO
Been looking forward to this series from Nefoundland. Spent 3 months there last summer and fell in love with the place. Can't wait to see you work your magic with your photography!
I'm from Corner Brook ,Newfoundland . Amazing video . Much respect 🙏
I must admit I stumbled on your video and couldn't stop laughing at your humor and quick whips, Really hope you enjoy your visit, Laughing to myself as I turned down a few trips I could have done to newfi land but really enjoyed your video . I will be subscribing to watch more ❤❤❤❤ wess from manitoba Canada. 😊😊😅
It's beautiful!
Looking forward to the rest of this series! Hope your van makes it back in one piece :)
It’s hard for landscape photography to compete with drone footage. This video is all the proof you need.
drone footage is landscape photography
great video! love your photography style and your video content is 2nd to none. cheers!
Glad you had a great trip to the Rock :)). Thanks for sharing your journey 🙌
Looking good Gavin! I've always wanted to see what the Princess Auto stores looked like in Nfld. Lol. Keep up the good work and keep the adventures coming! Cheers.
I struggle with composition thanks for this funny story! More composition videos!
My home Province. Loved your video :)
Excellent video Gavin and Amanda.
Great vlog and very amusing. Love the berry and barley juice references. At 3:17 you almost look like Ernie McCracken from King Pin. Sorry just hope you know who I mean?😂
Great video, Gavin. I recognize the 'find the composition' process!
This one was a bit more daring ;)
@@fototripper I will have to agree with that one. :)
That piece of software to find lost images is a must have. Where have they been the past 50 years?
I know I know
Brilliant video as always have been watching you for a long time now and your videos get better.
Of course Amanda is the star of the show 😂😂
See you next time, looking forward to receiving my book..😊
Great video , the ladder , too funny , it couldn’t be fixed ? The stainless steel alone is worth it. Amanda’s keeps us laughing as usual, I knew when you shut the lights out , the next time you turned on I know Amanda would be beside you. 😂😂 is that bad ? Looking forward to this trip of yours enjoy guys.
They could have been salvaged but it would just keep happening. Good riddance.
Brilliant video both of you, loved the cream on Amandas face and your look Gavin :)
The roads sound like the ones in the UK at the moment! I used to flit back and forth to Canada for work and sometimes the plane would land at Newfoundland to pick up and deliver mail, the landing was pretty hairy slam the plane down sharply then hang on whilst the pilot navigated the craters on the runway! Great video looking forward to seeing more!
Sounds about right.
Another good and informative video, looking forward to the next one…
im from newfoundland and any time im telling people there like OH your from Canada my response is always the same technically. haha its defiantly a big difference then mainland Canada culture landscape history just about everything is different. :). oh yea your the first none newfie to say newfoundland right so good on ya
Thank you !!
Your awesome.
Hi, we due à Newfoundland Roadtrip right now from the 1of june to 15 of july...hope to due some good Fotos like you do ....we are a big fans of you and Amanda ....well and of Thomas of corse...😂take care
Yes we have bears
I have to say, not many people actually pronounce our Beauty of an island the right away but you did!! It’s actually pronounced new-fin-land.
Awesome looking place especially with the fog looks very cinematic and spooky just like out of a film. Almost a bit like Filey. I wish I had got a caravan there.😊
Lots of bloody fog... words we live by here in NL.
I've never heard Morten Hilmer even hint that a mountain or a trail was too rough or steep or that he might not make it.😁 But it has been many years since I was at the age where I was omniscient, omnipotent, and immortal. Now, if I get both feet on the floor in the morning it is an accomplishment. Take good care of yourself and Amanda, Gavin. No picture is worth killing or maiming yourself to get it.
This is like the better remake of titanic! Photograph me like your French girls Gavin. 😆😆 Great video G man .
