"Wave & Icebergs"

Photo courtesy of Tony Seaward. Although North America is well into spring, there are plenty of icebergs to be found floating just offshore in the icy coastal waterways and the North Atlantic. Photographer Tony Seaward took this beautiful photograph of several bergs and a rather impressive wave just off the Canadian coast. The following is his story behind the image: "I took this picture on May 5th, 2008 at 1000 hrs near the community of Bonavista in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. I am looking northeast in this picture and we can see the tip of the Bonavista Peninsula and the North Atlantic beyond that. We are just coming into the best time to observe icebergs. It is not uncommon to see 30 icebergs in this area at one time. I used a Canon XTi with a Sigma 70-300 APO to take this picture. This image was captured at ISO 200, f/8 and exposure of 1/1250."   --Tony Seaward   Click here to comment on this picture.   Visit the POTD Archives for previous "Pictures Of The Day"!     Submit a photo of your own!                                 Place the "Picture of the Day" on your website, for free!
