Arches and Trombolites and the road to the north.

 Leaving the Southwestern part of the island and head north up the western coast we pass the Arches Provincial Park.  A row of stone archives formed by wind and wave action over millions of years. Quite impressive.

Further on we come across the Thrombolites wierd stones or fossils are reputed to be the oldest living creatures, known to man. Very strange looking things.

I wonder if a billion years ago these things were bubbling heaving masses, like invading things from outer space!
Our next port of call was Foresters Point in Flower Cove.
These photos taken just before we left the following  morning for L'Anse aux Meadows.
Super drive along side The Gulf of St. Lawrence.
