[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This shot was taken on the north east part of Newfoundland on a cloudy day. Everyone has heard of the climat change and although icebergs are not new to this province, there are a lot more coming down from the north. A lot of them come from Greenland and take as much as three years before they reach Newfoundland.

Many of them will be pushed close to the land by the currents and eventually settle at the bottom on an unusual hight tide where they'll be stucked there when the regular tides return. Eventually they'll melt and/or break enough to free themselves and carry on further south where they'll become water.

This is no icecube in this picture, it measured in excess on 100ft (30meters)high above water, meaning the whole berg would be 8 - 9 times bigger. Some have been estimated at 300,000,000 tons, see "Icebergs of Newfoundland" on the Internet.

Very much an attraction to tourists who are blessed with the views, they vary in shapes and sizes that Mother Nature carves with wind and water giving them odd appearances at times as if it was purposely planned to come out this way. Mother Nature is the best artist of all.

More photos of icegers will follow in the next few days.

Hello Jack,
This is an interesting capture!
The shape of this particular iceberg is special, with something looking like a flat top...
Good colour palette and fine details!
Greetings,

Un p'ti peu centré, mais oucé qcéti marqué qui faut pas centrer. Ma première règle de composition c'est de briser les règles de composition (de temps en temps). Et dans ton cas, je ne déteste pas. Bonne netteté et excellent controle de l'exposition. Malgré un environnement sombre et trompeur pour le posemètre, tu as su garder de très bon détail dans la structure glaciaire.

Bravo

Athila
