I have visited Ferryland often since moving to the Avalon Peninsula in 1981. Today's photos were taken on a walk to the lighthouse back then. I remember that the lighthouse was in need of maintenance, but it was open and my wife, two boys and I climbed to the top and had a great view. I believe this was before archaeologists began excavating the Colony of Avalon in earnest. There were minor digs previous to the mid-80s but since then there have been extensive digging in the area.
I don't know the people in the fourth photo and, to be honest, had forgotten there were other people there that day until I scanned the slide. My photos have etched memories into my being and because I see them from time to time, they keep the memories fresh. I guess I hadn't seen this slide for quite a while. :)
The interesting thing about today's photos is that there isn't a lot of differences in today's images of the land around the Town of Ferryland. Unless man-made structures are visible, or have disappeared from the landscape, there is little change is some areas. In others, trees and plants have grown making huge differences.
