This video is comprised of a series of pictures that I took on a recent journey with my sister Jacqueline, back to our old hometown of Moreton's Harbour, Newfoundland. We moved away from that fishing settlement a long, long time ago.

The beautiful and powerful song that I chose for the audio portion of the video called - My Father's Land - was written and sung by Gary Noland.

Gary's voice is one that you will not soon forget. Not only this song, but each of his other songs as well, give the listener a reason to sit back and listen intently to his words, for they carry a message that needs to be heard.

I certainly thank Gary for his generous permission in allowing me to use his song in the making of my video. To learn more about Gary and his music, check out his YouTube channel at:

My Father's Land

Walking in my Father's Land
Even though I never knew the man
All of who and what he was
Has a lot to do with who I am

There is more to it than meets the eye
It's like a classic piece of art
There's a primal urge to scream and cry
It's a beating rhythm in the heart

I go walking in my Father's land
And I'm talking to a gentle wind
Now I'm talking to myself again
Walking alone, all alone

No memories, just fabled stories
It's just like the hour glass sand
Dreams that fizzled into glory
Walking in my Father's land

Those who came first were drawn into the past
By time who has a mighty hand
I've learned that dreams of men can't last
While walking in my Father's land

And I go walking in my Father's land
And I'm talking to a gentle wind
Now I'm talking to myself again
Walking alone, all alone

There are two signs written out for man
One is on stone, above his grave
The other's written in his heart, that only Christ can save
And I go walking in my Father's land

And I'm talking to a gentle wind
Now I'm talking to myself again
Walking alone, walking alone
