Newfoundland

By European standards, the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador is a vast, sparsely populated area that is 1.4 times larger as Iceland and Britain combined.
Vast as the province is, it is more efficient to study wind in the landscape because, like Iceland, there is, for the most part, an unbridle freedom to roam the wilderness that one does not have in Britain. And while Scotland and the settled areas of Iceland are ideal for studying wind in cultivated landscapes, there is much to study in the natural landscapes in the hinterland of Newfoundland and Labrador. While your host has done some studies in Labrador, the only study pertaining to wind and landscape was  along the south coast of Labrador from Red Bay to Lance Aux Clair (where there is a unique wave clonal tuckamore (krummholz). Most of my studies of wind and landscape (and many other topics) were done throughout Newfoundland - hence the title of this page. The library contains articles related to wind in Newfoundland plus a few for general interest.

If a cluttered garden is a sign of a cluttered mind; then what is an empty garden a sign of.?

While most of the wind studies focus on so-called wild ness landscapes. But throughout the Wind Reader and in the Newfoundland library folder, There is frequent reference to host's small subrban garden  that was built up literally from  bedrock primarily and other gardens both great and small that he has created in truly windy circumstances.  These are designed to control wind and thus increase the length of the growing season within the microcliamt and restrict  snow drifting.
