The former outport town of Tilting, NL is located on eastern side of Fogo Island; which itself is off the north-east side of the Island of Newfoundland. The area was discovered by the French in 1535 and was used as a seasonal fishing location for centuries when it was settled by fishermen from Ireland in the 1730s. The architecture is quite unique and Tilting was declared a National Historic Site of Canada in 2003 in order to preserve its unique architecture.
It was all about the cod fishery, until the collapse of the code stocks in the 1990. The fishery now is mainly for lobster.
Fogo Island is not exactly an easy place to get to and unless you are exceptionally wealthy and can afford the $CAD 1250 per night (that's the bottom end room, low season. Regular rate is $CAD 1575, but that does include all meals) Fogo Island Inn, staying there in September is not an easy thing to do, so we made a day trip here.
The lighting was not ideal, but I'm reasonably happy with the shots I got here.
