A pair of icebergs drifting through Bluff Head Cove yesterday, calm and quiet against the grey sky. Twillingate never disappoints this time of year - even on a gloomy day. I could've stood there for hours, just listening to the water and smelling the salty air. #Newfoundland

Tucked beneath a row of evergreens in Trinity, NL, this 1880 mortuary chapel was built for funerals, not Sunday services. A quiet, gothic space where the dead were honoured before burial — it still stands as a reminder of how some outport communities marked life’s final rites.
