SBP 1: Canada #002
Flight from Springdale (CCD2) to St. Andrews / Codron Valley (CDA5).
-
After take-off near Upper Burnt Berry Pond (not visible) with Burnt Berry Pond sitting right behind us. Hall’s Bay (center) and Indian River (right) are visible in the distance.
-
Goose Pond (center-right) with Hind’s Lake (left background) behind it. The northeastern edge of Grand Lake is visible in the far right corner of the shot.
-
The hills on the eastern shore of Grand Lake, which is visible beyond them.
-
Crossing Little Grand Lake with Island Pond in the background.
-
Coming close to the southwestern coast of Newfoundland near Big Otter Pond.
-
Approaching St. Andrews by descending over the Grand Codroy River Estuary where Codroy Road crosses the river.
Notes:
- I screwed up my planning and thought I had to leave Newfoundland on its northwestern tip. Since it’s actually the southwestern one, I had to cross half of the island again to get to the southern coast again.
- I have never seen so many lakes and ponds on any of my previous flights! It’s pretty!
- Since I have to worry about getting useful shots for my IG account, too I can’t be so sure if the flight across Cabot Strait produces anything worthwhile. If that’s the case, I might leave it out and continue on the other side of the strait.
