28 June 2006. Francois, Newfoundland, Canada.You can barely get more remote than this in the modern world. This is the virtually the whole town as it shelters in the shadows of the surrounding mountains. The place is only accessible by fishing boat or ferry; there are no roads. Francois is hunkered down by the water and loses the sun behind the hills hours before sunset. The tenacity of life clinging on at the edge.
I visited as part of my cycle trip around the Gulf of St Lawrence
