Here's a sunset pic taken with my phone last evening. It is the view from my home. We get sunsets like that almost every day. (The sunrises here are just as nice).
The pic shows a waterfront building lot for sale across the street. I think it is about 1.5 acres in size. It would be great to have two Camplites in the neighborhood - hint, hint.

Here's a pic of Cavendish Beach In Prince Edward Island National Park (Canada).
All along the North shore of PEI there are beaches like this. It is possible to find miles of beaches here where you are the only ones there. This pic was taken in the summer -- this particular beach can get a busier than this but is never crowded by any conventional standards.

This is the fjord in Gros Morne National Park in Newfoundland, Canada. This park also has the special designation of being named a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The fjord is a very special place --- the pic was taken from the tour boat that takes visitors up the long freshwater lake (Western Brook Pond) at the bottom of the fjord. As you can see it was a rainy day we were there but still pretty spectacular. The tour boat is the only boat allowed in the lake and it was specially designed to avoid polluting the lake. Fishing is prohibited too. The lake water is among the purest water ever measured in a natural lake -- basically medical grade. Hydrologists classify it as ultraoligotrophic which is an exceedingly rare classification. The water is very low in nutrients because its catchment is granite with very low amounts of soil. Perhaps of greater interest is that Newfoundland has a caribou herd of about 30,000 animals and every winter there is a mini-migration where the caribou climb down one side of the fjord and then up the other side! The granite walls are 2000-feet high. Near the end of the lake you see Pissing Mare Falls -- a 1,150 foot waterfall. In a word - Gros Morne Park is "Incredible". Camping in the park in our small but mighty Camplite trailer was pretty incredible too.

wow thank you for sharing the picture and history!
Beautiful Shots!
Would like to camp close to Gros Morne National Park in Newfoundland during 2016!

Bill - all your pics are great. All beautiful places you now have me wanting to experience.
This one was taken at Five Islands Provincial Park (http://www.novascotia.com/see-do/outdoor-activities/five-islands-provincial-park/1739) in beautiful Nova Scotia (http://www.novascotia.com/). The park is on the Bay of Fundy, home of the highest tides in the world. The pic shows low tide where the tide goes out so far I doubt you could walk to the water's edge. Where I took the pic the tidal range is almost 50-feet. At high tide the five islands are surrounded by water and are miles offshore. At low tide they are high & dry! You need to be there to really get a grasp on just how much water flows in and out of the Bay of Fundy. The area in the pic is just one little part of the overall Bay of Fundy. I just looked up some facts: In one tide cycle 160 billion tonnes of water flows in & out of the Bay of Fundy. That is more than the combined flow of all the freshwater rivers in the world! The time between a high tide and a low tide is, on average, 6 hours and 13 minutes. As such, you can reasonably expect to see at least one high and one low tide during daylight hours.

Should have said we want to camp in New Brunswick area during 2016. Will not make it north to Newfoundland, but it's beautiful! May be able to make it to Nova Scotia!

View from Hunting Island Light House SP SC:

Hi Bill -- Your lighthouse pic reminds me of when I was an architecture student, part of a work-term job required me & a co-worker to do measured drawings of a abandoned stone lighthouse on Lake Heron. It might not have been as big as the one in your picture but I remember it as huge. The hard part was that railing that was the equivalent to what we see in your picture was so rusted & broken that it could not be used. I had to go out on the walkway on my belly -- the crumbling ledge covered in years of accumulated birdshit -- while my co-worker inside held my ankles. I did that so I could reach over the edge to drop a tape measure down to the ground to measure how tall it was. That was tough. (Over the years since I've occasionally had nightmares where I'm hopelessly trapped in precariously high locations - so maybe the lighthouse experience deeply affected me??). The ledge was bad -- but so was the old iron spiral stair inside that was in a ridiculously unsafe condition but we were still expected to climb it. Later the lighthouse was restored so future generations can enjoy. I suppose I can take some satisfaction that our survey may have helped make it possible to do the restoration that saved some of our heritage.
I just found this info on the lighthouse I measured (http://www.lighthousefriends.com/light.asp?ID=1045). It apparently cost $2,322,000 to restore so you might imagine the bad shape it was in!
That's a Great Looking lighthouse! Like the project story & results!!!

Yellowstone is such an amazing place.
Thanks, We enjoyed our visit last summer. Can't wait to visit Glacier NP & Canadian Rockies!
Here's a question about Yellowstone ----> Do places like what is pictured stink? Beautiful but gut-wrenchingly awful smelling?

Has a strong sulfur smell. Boiling water from thermal activity!

What incredible photos all of you have shared here! You're not using mere phone cameras, are you? They really are impressive, though we feel somewhat embarrassed of our amateurish pics...oh well!
Thanks for sharing these, really!
Thanks, photos taken so far with Canon point & shoot. Don't have a smart phone, yet. Use the SD card from camera to upload photos with a laptop & hotspot combo when traveling.
From our last trip to Lake Huron: Geese heading out into the lake at sunset.
Merlin,
Nice shot! Like the clouds and colors!
These outhouse pics were taken in Gros Morne National Park in Newfoundland, Canada. It was at an isolated old fishing camp on the coast. The closest land beyond the horizon is Labrador. The camp wasn't for recreational fishing. Instead, a family would move there every summer to be closer to their fishing grounds where they'd jig cod. On shore they'd salt & dry the cod until they had a ton or so they could sell to support themselves through the winter back in town. As you can tell from the braces, it is a windy place! Also notice the trees -- it is so windy the trees are stunted & twisted up like natural bonsai trees. Those trees are fully grown yet are only five or six feet high.

Sometimes you don't have to go far to find beauty. This picture of apple blossoms was taken in my side yard here in Prince Edward Island.

Hi J_Westy
That pic at Acadia National Park is beautiful. The south shore of much of Nova Scotia looks very similar.
Where is home for you, your Quicksilver and all those bikes? (I saw the pics of your impressive bike rack setup - very cool).
Beautiful shot! Like the colors!!!!!!!!!!!

Home is Michigan. We took the Canada route from Sarnia to Montreal then down into New Hampshire and Maine.
We had so many bikes because my youngest isn't the strongest rider and we wanted to ride the carriage trails in Acadia, so we took the tandem too. Had a great time -- the bridges and scenery were beautiful!

Thanks! Just a jive iPhone4S picture.
If you didn't know, Cadillac mountain sees the earliest sunrise in the US... so it was a fun thing to check off the list even though we had to get up at 3:15am to get there from the campsite ;D

Detroit Burbs.
Detroit - When I brought my small but mighty Camplite11FDB back to Canada after picking it up at the factory I crossed into Canada at Detroit. For a small town boy from rural Canada passing through Detroit was interesting. For instance there were several intersections where the traffic lights weren't functional. (You don't see that in PEI :D). I managed okay but it was interesting. At one set of lights that was functional a police car pulled up opposite me on the drivers side. He lowered his passenger side window and gestured to me. I thought "oh oh" since I was driving with no plates on the trailer. I lowered my window. He said "awesome trailer" to which I replied "thanks - I just bought it today". He then said "what did it cost" to which I replied the American dollar no-tax price. He nodded his head approvingly and we both moved on with the green light.
Here's a view of the 8-mile long bridge between New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. A very big bridge! The longest in the world covering ice-covered water. In the winter there can be several feet of sea ice in the Strait and it puts tremendous strain on the piers. Most of the two-lane bridge is 131-feet above the water. There are 44 piers and they are typically 820-feet apart. It typically takes 12-minutes to cross at the speed limit of 80kmh (50mph). Winds can be gusty and the bridge is occasionally closed to high-sided vehicles.
The picture was taken from the New Brunswick side. PEI can just be seen in the distance. The water is known as the Northumberland Strait and its summer temperature is surprisingly warm. The Strait is reportedly home to the warmest ocean water temperatures in Canada, and some of the warmest ocean water temperatures on the Atlantic coast north of Virginia.
By the way the toll on the bridge (leaving the Island only) is $45.50 CAN + $7.50 an axle if you are towing a trailer. So with a tandem axle Camplite your toll would be $60.50 CAN. -- Not insignificant but necessary to pay for the $1,300,000,000 construction cost.
It is a shame the lighthouse isn't being properly maintained. :(

So that's why they are called the "Blue Ridge Mountains". The bucket list gets bigger! ;)
Thanks!
We were camping at Mount Pisgah NC campground on the Blue Ridge Parkway when we took that shot!

I decided not to try and cross. (Reason - Chicken). This pic taken with a selfie stick while hiking shows the Upper Salmon River near Laverty Falls within Fundy National Park in New Brunswick, Canada.
