Summary

Description

Near Channel-Port aux Basques, Newfoundland. A view of the Twin Hills (left) and Table Mountain (right) taken from just north of the Little Barachois River on the Trans-Canada Highway, about seven and a half miles (12.5km) past the ferry terminal.

A bit of history: between the outbreak of World War II and some time in the early 1960s, there was a U.S. Air Force radar station at Table Mountain manned by between ten and fourteen men at any given time. If you go to the top of the mountain you can still see the ruins of barracks and other buildings, though they're slowly being razed.


Près de Channel-Port-aux-Basques, Terre-Neuve. Une vue des Collines Jumelles (à gauche) et la montagne Table (à droite) prise à partir de juste au nord du fleuve Little-Barachois le long de la route Transcanadienne, environ 12,5 kilomètres après la gare maritime. Ceci est assez typique du paysage entre Port-aux-Basques et Corner Brook, et j'ai pris beaucoup de photos comme celle-ci quand j'étais là. Malheureusement, la feuille de papier sur laquelle j'ai écrit les légendes pour ces photos a été souflée dans une rafale de vent plus tard ce jour-là à Gros-Morne, donc les seules que j'ai gardé sont celles dont les descriptions il m'est arrivé de se rappeler.

Un peu d'histoire: entre le déclenchement de la Seconde Guerre mondiale et quelquie temps au début des années 1960, il y avait une station radar de la Force aérienne des États-Units sur la montagne Table qui était tenue par entre dix et quatorze hommes à un moment donné. Celui qui va au sommet de la montagne encore peut voir les ruines des casernes et d'autres bâtiments, même qu'on les rase peu à peu.


Cerca de Channel-Port aux Basques, Terranova. Una vista de las Colinas Gemelas (a la izquierda) y la Montaña Table (a la derecha) tomada desde justo al norte del Río Little Barachois a lo largo de la Carretera Transcanadiense, más o menos 12,5 kilómetros más allá del terminal de transbordadores. Esto es bastante típico del paisajes entre Port aux Basques y Corner Brook, y tomé muchas fotos como ésta cuando yo estaba allí. Por desgracia, la hoja de papel donde escribí los títulos para esas fotos se sopló en una ráfaga más tarde ese día en Gros Morne; así, las únicas que guardé eran aquellas cuyas descripciones se me ocurrió recordar.

Un poco de historia: entre el estallido de la Segunda Guerra Mundial y algún momento al principio de los años 1960, había una estación de radar de la Fuerza Aérea de los Estados Unidos en la cima de la Montaña Table que se atendía por entre diez y catorce hombres en cualquier momento dado. Lo que va a la cima de la montaña todavía se puede ver las ruinas de cuarteles y otros edificios, aunque se los arrase poco a poco.
