Exploring Newfoundland’s West Coast: Lighthouses, Wildlife, Fall Colours & Hidden Photo Spots

Let us know if you have any questions about Newfoundland and we may air it on next episode. Michael Winsor and co-host Corey discuss Newfoundland’s west coast after listener requests, sharing recent experiences with heavy snow, winter hikes, and photographing sunsets at Greenpoint Lighthouse. They highlight favorite west coast photography locations including Port au Choix and Port au Choix lighthouse, Bottle Cove for sunsets and orange dories, Cox’s Cove for fall reflections and bald eagles, and key Gros Morne National Park sites such as the Arches, the Tablelands, Trout River, Humber Valley, and Western Brook Pond (including winter snowmobile access and safety with guides). They talk about opportunities to photograph caribou, foxes, moose, and birds, plus the challenges of trip planning given distances. They briefly mention a fall photography tour, Corey’s organizing workflow, and Michael’s upcoming second photo book, and they postpone a deeper food discussion to a future episode, noting Trout River’s Seaside Restaurant buns and rolls.00:00 Welcome to Newfoundland00:41 Winter Updates and Hockey02:08 Snowstorms and Snowshoeing02:39 Green Point Lighthouse Photos03:47 West Coast Lighthouse Spotlight04:19 Caribou Encounters and Hotspots08:16 Moose Photography Goals09:17 West Coast Photo Tour Promo10:26 Cox Cove Fall Colors12:59 Bottle Cove Sunset Drive14:54 Roadside Wildlife Surprises18:22 The Arches and Wide Angle Tips20:50 Why the West Coast Needs Time22:10 Tablelands Geology and Views24:06 Hiking the Tablelands Story25:31 Trout River Night Skies26:13 Seaside Rolls and Whale27:47 Western Brook Winter Ride29:28 Hiking and Tent Photos30:27 Photo Workflow and Growth32:12 West Coast Birds and Lighthouses34:55 Remote South Coast Hops37:33 Lost on Backroads39:58 New Book Volume Two42:28 Humber Valley Fall Colors44:22 Savor the Moment46:55 Where to Listen NextSupport the showWelcome to the Rock!
