I took these two photos (and many others!) on my wife and my honeymoon two years ago.
We took two weeks and traveled through the north east US, and through the Maritime provinces of Canada (New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia) and ended up in the beautiful island of NewFoundLand.
After 24 hours of driving we took an overnight ferry to Port Aux Basque and started driving to Gros Morne National Park. This is a seriously amazing place, I've never quite seen a landscape like it, though it is similar to what I imagine Norway looking like.

The first picture was taken on the hike up to the peak of Gros Morne Mountain, the tallest peak in NewFoundand. The second picture is at the base of the mountain (on the left).

I took these pictures with my now deceased Canon 5d mk1 and a wide angle sigma zoom lens.

It was a long trip up to "The Rock" but it was definitely worth the drive, though next time I'll make sure to spend more time on the island.

One funny little thing about NewFoundLand is that barely anyone actually knows how to pronounce it. Spelled phonetically it is pronounced NEWfin-land (or something close to that)

Let me know if you have any questions!

It sounds like you had an incredible trip. Congrats on two years of marriage. Hope you have many more. That's sad to hear about your camera, especially as good as these shots are. How did it meet its demise?

Thanks!
When it broke it was over 10 years old, and was probably used for most of those. The mirror came unglued, and since it was so old canon was unable to fix it.
I could have paid a repair place to do it but the camera really wasn't worth much at that age. I ended up unsuccessfully trying to fix it so I had to start using my back up until I bought my Fuji.

Wow very impressive pictures :) Of course I upvoted! They remind me on my last hike in Austria. If you want to know more: https://steemit.com/travel/@tschoartschi/a-very-impressive-hike-in-the-alps-traunstein-at-traunsee
