Ungentle on my Soul

Abandoned, Anchor Point, Newfoundland, Canada

Abandoned
Neglected
Forgotten
Failing

That I find the beauty in it
Renders the experience
Of encountering it
All the more

Painful
Discouraging
Disturbing
Heartbreaking

Abandoned
Anchor Point
Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada

An outport in rural Newfoundland. The whole of the Canadian Maritimes suffered deeply in the wake of the Atlantic Cod Fishery in 1992. Even after 30 years, recovery comes slow, or not at all.
