One evening during my vacation I took a hike along the trail around Signal Hill and The Battery in St Johns. The view is amazing and well worth the effort. The city can be seen through The Narrows with Cabot Tower sitting on top of the hill.

I’m just back again from this years trip to Newfoundland in Canada. I didnt get to spend as much time taking photos as I usually do since we were busy trying to organise our wedding next year but I was lucky to get out with my camera for on the two best days of the trip. A weekend spent in Trinity itself was great fun and the town is a beautiful location in the early morning. In St Johns itself I went for a hike around Signal Hill and the view is amazing though the light was hazy and the time of day meant the sun was in most of the best shots, it’s another location that needs an early morning start so I’ll try to visit it again next year. I still have to go through the images but hopefully I’ll have a couple of nice ones to post here.

Another Newfoundland post. The communities of Newfoundland seem to have a great attachment to the sea and to boats. They are everywhere. Old boats, new boats, big and small. They also just tie them up beside the shore and no one takes them. Though who would steal a row boat I’m not sure. In Ireland kids would probably smash them for fun.

Here is another old photo, this time from Newfoundland last year. The Ferryland Lighthouse has been converted into a visitor center and cafe. It serves lovely home made food and lemonade in picnic baskets that visitors can take down to the cliffs to watch whales swim by.
