EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1910, showcases the Old Battery at the entrance to The Narrows in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada. The Old Battery, a historic defensive position, stands proudly on the eastern edge of the estuary, guarding the waterway that connects the harbor to the Atlantic Ocean. The narrow channel, known as The Narrows, is a strategic location that has been of great importance to the city's history. The serene scene is further enhanced by the presence of an iceberg, a natural wonder that adds to the breathtaking beauty of the location. Icebergs are a common sight in Newfoundland's waters during the spring and summer months, making their way from the Arctic to the Atlantic. This particular iceberg, with its towering, jagged edges, seems to gracefully block the entrance to the harbor, adding an element of mystery and wonder to the photograph. The Old Battery, with its cannons pointed towards the water, stands as a testament to the rich history of St. John's and its role as a strategic military location. The calm, clear waters of the estuary reflect the surrounding landscape, creating a stunning visual contrast between the old and the new, the natural and the man-made. This photograph, with its unique blend of history, natural beauty, and intrigue, is a must-have for anyone with an appreciation for the natural wonders of Canada and the rich history of its maritime provinces. The Old Battery at the entrance to The Narrows in St. John's, Newfoundland, is a truly iconic location that continues to captivate visitors from around the world.
