Mother Nature is an amazing artist

 

Not far north of Gros Morne National Park is yet another jaw dropping bit of scenery, with thanks to Mother Nature. The star of the Arches Provincial Park is a short drive from the highway, and if you blink, you may miss the turn-off. Trust me, you’ll want to turn around.

We arrived, thankfully, just before a huge tour bus pulled into the lot, and thankfully because it started to rain, the mass of people returned to the bus just as quickly as they got off.

Over millennia, the ancient limestone rock was carved by the pounding surf into this natural rock formation. There were once four arches, but sadly the ocean has laid claim to one, and I’m sure in time the others will follow.

I’m glad we had a chance to see them before it’s too late.
