Can't wait, I'll be there in third week of June on a week long photo seminar, hopefully I'll be able to post something as good

You might want to look into Cape Breton fiddling and music. A style of Scottish fiddling survived there long after it was forgotten in Scotland. Plenty of photo ops.

I recall you're right, it may extend, it is the volume/weigh that below and as the aeriel shows a huge surface just below water line I stand corrected

I was among the crowds of people taking photos of it last Sunday (see http://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-454853-1.html). It's impressive, and apparently there are plenty more on their way here.

PM me if you need suggestions for places to shoot: an eagles' nest, an ospreys' nest, scenic shots, bird and whale tours, etc etc.

It would be my pleasure to meet another HHH

This seems like a perfect set up for a fun shot. Would be fun to take a small boat out there (maybe an old fishing boat) and a really (really) long piece of rope ... get the rope wrapped around the 'berg, hook up to the boat, and then full steam ahead ... a big plume of smoke coming out of a stack would be a bonus :) Seems like it would be a cool shot if you got the angle and perspective just right.

Too bad I have to work today ... and that I live in Alberta (where we have icebergs, but ours are called glaciers) about 6,000 km (maybe 3,800 miles) from Newfoundland ... and I don't think my canoe would quite fit the needs of the shot :(

A nice idea: but I wouldn't want to go near enough to the berg to attach a rope - those things can drop large chunks of ice with no warning, and no to mention turn over and create a huge wave with bits of ice going in all directions. Photoshopping a rope in afterwards would be a much safer solution!

Now where's the adventure in that (the Photoshop approach)? :)

OK, new plan then ... the rope gets wrapped around the iceberg (from a safe distance, if you insist) by a search and rescue helicopter (how far is CFB Gander?)

That's doable! Gander is close to 4 hrs away by road, but by air, no problem.
