Cape Spear, Newfoundland is the most easterly point in North America.

A few months ago, I wrote a post about a place not far from St. John's.  That place is Cape Spear, Newfoundland, the most easterly point in North America.  It was called A Badge Of Honour For The Taking. 

I was not long blogging when I wrote that post.  My focus was on writing eloquently about interesting places in Newfoundland.  I was happy if my compositions were interesting, informative and perhaps even flavoured with a little bit of whit.   

I know some people did read the post, but at the time I was an unknown in the blogging world; a mere neophyte as they say. (Oh you should see my following now!) 

So, it was a little disappointing that nobody commented.  Check it out.  You'll see.  At the time I was sure there would be 50 or more accolades.  Ha Ha!  Funny how exuberantly naive one can be even at age 51.  I am OK now, so there is no need feel sorry for me.  Blogging has a way of making you wiser just 9 months in.

A Facebook friend of mine, Mr. Jim Costello, is quite a photographer.  He has a passion for the game and he does it uniquely well!  If you could see all of his work I know you would appreciate what I am saying.  And when you consider there are multitudes of good photographers, it is quite something that his work stands out on its own. 

The other day I came across one of Jim's photos that struck me; partly because of it is so beautiful and partly because it reminded me that my blog post about Cape Spear would have done so much better had this photo been a part of it. 

Jim has allowed me to use his photos before.  If you care to see one of St. John's, I posted it in I Am St. John's Newfoundland After The Great Fire Of 1892.  Look At Me Now!  So I asked Jim if he would mind me using his Cape Spear photo on my blog as well. 

Jim Costello.  Used by permission.

He never hesitate to say "yes" and for that I am very thankful.  It allows me to share this with you and I do so because one day something will inspire you to come and see Cape Spear, the most easterly point in North America all for yourself.  It is an experience that you will never forget and one that will finally award you A Badge of Honour For The Taking.
