Kitimat Sentinel - That bridge, that cross

Kitimat Sentinel - That bridge, that cross: "Many springs ago on a melting Saturday afternoon, I was hiking doggedly behind my ever more energetic brothers, through the soggy northern Ontario bush.

The trek became much more exciting as we came upon a gushing flooding stream. The banks were steep, about 10 - 15 feet above the water. Of course, the other side is where older brother wanted to be.

Clambering along the bank we came to what was needed; a way across! A rather old log, less than 10 inches in diameter had been dropped across the 20 foot span."

Parks Canada announces summer line up

Toronto, April 16, 2011 -- Parks Canada is marking its 100th birthday by bringing some of its most unforgettable visitor experiences into the heart of Canada’s biggest cities – and the celebration doesn’t end there. This year’s centennial will include free entry days and exciting events at Parks Canada's more than 200 national parks and historic sites, animating Canada's treasured places like never before.

Parks Canada CEO Alan Latourelle unveiled the first flight of the centennial festivities on stage at the Green Living Show during a performance by Sarah Harmer, her band and other musicians who are part of the National Parks Project, a series of 13 short films with original musical accompaniment being released to mark the centennial.

“Our centennial is a unique opportunity for Canadians to discover and rediscover some of the best that our country has to offer,” said Mr. Latourelle. “It will be an occasion for the Parks Canada team to bring our story to young people, urbanites and new Canadians in our largest cities, folks who may not be as familiar with Parks Canada as those living closer to our treasured places.”  Parks Canada

An old rustic shed sits along the banks of the peninsula in the outdoor beauty of the sunset in L'Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland Labrador.

Outdoor Shed L Anse Aux Meadows Newfoundland

You would expect this old rustic shed to be in the outdoor garden of someone's yard, not along the banks of a peninsula in the town of L'Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland Labrador. As the sun glistens over the water near sundown, this shed stands peacefully amongst the landscape with wisps of colored clouds hanging above.Rustic shed at the end of the peninsula in the town of L'Anse aux Meadows, Northern Peninsula, Great Northern Peninsula, Viking Trail, Trails to the Vikings, Newfoundland, Newfoundland Labrador, Canada....
