Dusk at Dildo Run, 446 megapixels, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada

Dildo Run" refers to a narrow, island-dotted body of water in central Newfoundland separating New World Island from the mainland. The term is entirely nautical and geographic. The word "dildo" traces back to historic wooden pegs used as a pivot for a rowboat's oar. The name is deeply rooted in local Newfoundland history rather than modern slang.
