Gaspe - Page 3 - CalWilliamsPhoto.com

We took a leisurely drive around the Gaspe Route 132 loop in July, 2006. This is a very relaxed place, with welcoming people and beautiful scenery. Truly a foreign country right next door, it appears to be undiscovered by USA tourists, as we saw only one other USA license plate in our entire stay!

Along the southern shore of the St. Laurence River in Quebec, the name of almost every village starts with "Sainte." The most prominent location in each of these villages is occupied by a well-maintained church, and athough every one is unique, they have in common that the entire steeple is heavily coated in aluminum roofing paint. It must have taken a rail car load of paint...

Cal Williams > Gannet Colony

The Northern Gannet colony at Parc national de I'Ile-Bonaventure-et-du-Rocher-Perce at the end of the Gaspe peninsula in Quebec, Canada is the largest in North America. About 50,000 birds nest on the 300-foot high cliffs on the East side of the island and about 70,000 more on the plateau at the top of the cliffs. The colony is a spectacular sight - and sound - and smell! The island is reached by boat from the town of Perce - the trip includes closeup views of Perce Rock and of the cliffs before docking on the West side of the island. The experience of stepping out of the woods at the end of the trail across the island, right at the edge of the gannet colony, is truly unforgetable.

Cal Williams > Gannet in Flight

The Northern Gannet (Morus bassanus) is a goose-sized member of the Booby family. It is a long-winged bird, with a five to six foot wingspan, and is about 35 to 40 inches in length. It plunges spectacularly into the sea, from heights of 60 to 90 feet, in pursuit of fish. It often uses its large feet to propel itself back out of the water and into flight, with its catch.
