John Bushey is a dear Internet friend living in Florida who first visited Newfoundland many years ago. Like many of us he felt the urge to visit the Rock again and his excellent photos and commentaries of his August, 2000 trip are presented here.

Any drive along the coasts of Newfoundland offers many scenic views often related to the once dominant fishing industry. This old salt shack is in Boat Harbour on the Burin peninsula.
Driving across the province on the Trans Canada Highway is a rewarding experience. This vista can be seen driving from Grand Falls towards the Burin turnoff.
St. John's main street is Water street, the oldest in North America. Here one can find many restored historic buildings all within a short distance of the harbour area.
Water street has many unique shops, fine restaurants and a full line of services. Any visitor should plan on spending at least one day to properly see and experience this historic area.
A well known landmark in St. John's is the Cabot Tower on Signal Hill. As this photo demonstrates the Tower can serve as an excellent platform for taking pictures of St. John's and its sheltered harbour.
Perhaps the most popular tourist site in St. John's, Signal Hill offers scenic views of the city, the harbour and the sea. Looking to the west this view shows the harbour and downtown area of the city.
Middle Cove is a popular and scenic area within a short drive of downtown St. John's. Of the many panoramic views available there, scenes of the waves crashing on the rocks are always spectacular.

This photo was taken from Signal Hill and shows the Narrows, the entrance to St. John's harbour. Fort Amherst and the lighthouse are also visible here.
These historic townhouses are within a short walk of downtown St. John's and many have been lovingly restored to their former elegance.
Ed Northover
Ed, another Newfoundlander, is a friend of a friend who sends along these excellent photos of the Hibernia platform where he works.
This photo shows the platform undergoing construction at Bull Arm prior to being towed to its permanent location in the North Atlantic.
Following construction the Hibernia platform was towed out to sea by these sturdy tugs.

A helicopter appears suspended in midair as it prepares to make a landing on the platform.
A favourite place for many workers on the platform, the gymnasium is well equipped and well used.
A supply boat dwarfed by the size of the platform makes a routine stop delivering supplies and equipment.
