Trinity

On the way back from Terra Nova to St. John's we took a detour up the Bonavista Peninsula, at least as far as Trinity, which is reputed to be one of the most attractive villages in Newfoundland. It's obviously quite a tourist destination, with several house museums, inns, gift stores and so on. (This is all relative, of course: the permanent population is about 200.)

It used to be a substantial trading depot, a base for merchants who supplied the fishing trade. None of the warehouses remain, but a number of reasonably sylish houses do, and some impressive churches, which indicate that this was once an important population center.

	The Anglican church, an impressive wooden-Gothic structure, with a cute graveyard full of little yellow flowers.		The yard of a house-museum.
	Hooking a rug.		A lonely house, behind a field of wildflowers.
	A touring boat, with another lonely house in the background. (And Benjamin admiring the boat over to the right.)		Benjamin writing postcards.
	A (literally) Victorian post-box.		A sailboat motors into harbor.
	The parish hall and other buildings with flags flying.		In the Green Family Forge, heating up an iron rod in the coal fire with the help of a massive bellows. (Taken hand-held at 1/20th sec., wide-open at 17mm (28mm equivalent) af f/4, 400 ISO.)
