Deviation Contest "Newfoundland", by ~northernmist |
This
picture represents Newfoundland to me...the ocean,
the fishing
boat and ofcourse beach rocks. When you think of any of these things
you relate it to NL. This picture was taken about 1 mth ago, out around
Northern Bay, NL. It was an overcast day - again something else you
think of when you think of NL, our weather!  |
 "iron skull.", by ~Newfy |
it's the nickname they gave the hill. Description for contest Okay, so what do we have going on here? A mountain, duh. But here's how i see it. There are three things there that Newfoundland can be known for. Number one, the water. The water has supported a great deal in Newfoundland from the vast ocean to rivers. Without the oceans, the fishery never would have existed. without the rivers, our hydro or the logging would never have existed either. Number two, the rock/mountain. Newfoundland is a rock, we get our nickname from the vast amount of rock that we are covered by but the mountain also stands for the rough turrain Newfoundland is comprised of. Get me? Good. Now, number three, the trees on the left. We have a forestry, and if we never had trees, we'd only be a rock. the last reason sucks, I know. I'll live with it. |
 ".Summer.", by ~Huggybear666 |
Its
a submission for the contest. And i had to describe it, in the sence of newfoundland.. Well when i picture Newfoundland i see Cold, Ice, and Heart Ach. (as do most people i assume) But i'd like to highlight the softer side of newfoundland, those warm summer days when you and a bunch of your friends(or just someone special) go to the nearest park, er just out on the front lawn and just lay down in the grass and let the sun warm your whole body. If i ever move away, thats what i want to take with me, a sence of friendship and warmth.
P.s, this was taken randomly on a day when me and a whole gaggle of my friends went to bowering park for the day. The male is Michael Chafe, and the arms are Samantha Ledwells. |

Two fishermen sitting on their buckets waiting for the Caplin (a small fish preyed upon by whales and cod fish--and people) . Caplin washes up on shore and people like this capture it with nets and buckets |
 "Puppy in a Lobster Trap", by ~Linkashta |
This
is one of my dog's Kel-Sea. A boy, just to make that clear. We
have two lobster traps on the back deck, just for show, and well some
how, he manages to get himself stuck, IN, yes in, the trap. I heard mom
laughing and call me, saying get the camera, and so i did, then saw
what Kel-Sea had gotten himself into. It rope was broken slightly in
the first place, but he made the hope bigger and got in, and couldn't
get out. So i got a picture of the pittiful puppy stuck in the trap. We just about died laughing, it was just so funny to see this small breed of dog, get himself stuck in the lobster trap. |
 "Signal Hill" by ~LeithDoan |
Contest
entry for ~newhttp://www.deviantart.com/view/4982754/foundland I wanted to submit something for this contest, but I couldnt think of anything to do. But this is how I saw signal hill on the way to school this morning and I was inspired. I dont usually use Illustrator- I'm more of a Photoshop gal, but I like how this turned out. Illustrator CS |
 "NBC Newfoundlander by Choice" by *Arielmac |
Fergus O'Byrne at the Newfoundland and Labrador Folk Festival, Sunday August 7,
2005 in Bannerman Park. Fergus was honored with the Amabassor of Newfoundland Music award that night and his acceptance speach really touched me. He mentioned that he immigrated from Ireland in the early 70's and fell in love with the Island of Newfoundland. Most of people moving to Newfoundland are given the title CFA, Come From Away, and Fergus mention that his attachment for the Island made him give himself a new title, NBC, Newfoundlander by choice. I moved in Newfoundland on June 12, 2003 from Montreal, PQ, needing a change of scenery. I moved almost blindly. The only things I knew about Newfoundland was what I have read. I didn't know a soul here and never sat foot on the Island before. I was immediatly charmed and fell in love with all the aspect of Newfoundland, the food, the night life, the music, the people and yes, the weather also. I found people to be welcoming, warm, helpful, caring and laid back. I found home. I am Ariel and I am a NBC, a Newfoundland By Choice. I did take a few pictures that night, a lot of Fergus and I wanted to do something that represents the way I see him now. By coloring the pictures and rearraging them to show the Republic of Newfoundland flag I felt it represent perfectly the way I percieve him now and the way I feel about this beautiful Island. |
 "Home Sweet Home" by =random-event |
Here is my submission for the 1st ~newfoundland
contest. Basically I went through my numerous photos in Newfoundland,
and found that this one felt not only interesting, but meaningful.
Naturally, it immediately had the connection to the sea that we as
Newfoundlanders have always had, being an island, and also due to our
rich fishing industry's history. I also felt that this shell
represented Newfoundland fairly well, not only because it is a very
common site on our shores, but because it was the home of one that had
to drag itself through the sea as our ancestors did, no doubt through
some hardship, to take residence on this welcoming land. I would expect
that the inhabitant of this shell may have had offspring who would
leave and come back to one of Newfoundland's coasts, which also is a
similar and common pattern to our own people. This photo was taken in Shallow Bay on the northern coast of Newfoundland on my way to St. Anthony. No alteration was done to this photo except some minor level adjustment, and of course, the border. |
