"Little boxes on a hillside... by pamknowler

"Little boxes on a hillside...

Little boxes made of tacky tacky" For some reason this view across the water of the little houses perched on the hillside made me think of the song - does anyone remember it? Now I can't get it out of my head!! LOL!

Back to Newfoundland. This is Brigas South and we climbed to the top of the hill on Timber Cove Island to get a wonderful view out to sea. This is looking back towards where the people lived. These small settlements are known as outports and are all over Newfoundland - some were only accessible from the sea. The summer season lasts for only 5 months and it's a long cold winter - what a hard life!!

I agree with you, Pam. They do look just like that.... now that you mention it. I do like the composition too.

Glad you came up with the name! I'm still going through older photos, so haven't come to the names of the towns yet! I DO remember the song, but some of those houses look pretty good! And at least those folks have some neighbours!

Yes this looks so typical. We got snow in June one year and back to cooler weather in September!
