Description
Perched high above the ocean cliffs of Elliston, Newfoundland, a lone puffin calls out as the first light of day ignites the horizon. Silhouetted against a fiery wash of crimson, orange and gold, this little character seems to command the sunrise itself. For a brief moment, the rugged coastline falls into darkness while the morning burns brilliantly behind him — a wild Newfoundland sunrise, and one very vocal puffin there to greet it.
