The cruise ship the Caribbean Princess leaves St John’s harbour today through The Narrows beside Signal Hill. The ship looked huge up close and while she was trying to manevour in the harbour to leave. The noise from all the other ships horns blaring farewell was deafening but a great send off for the ship. It made me jealous of all the passengers sailing out on a ship like that, their view must have been amazing.

I put it into panoramic because I though the photo worked better without the too much sky and water but with as much of The Narrows as possible. It makes it a little small in the blog post but if you click on the picture you’ll see it full size.

A few weeks ago on a beautiful sunny day I walked around downtown St John’s taking photographs of the iconic row houses. Of the hundreds of shots I “narrowed” it down to 30 favourites, but even then lets be honest no one wants to sit through 30 images of houses in a slideshow. Therefore I decided to play around a little and using the print module in Lightroom came up with an image that shows just a sample of the photos from that day.  I might throw up another couple of images like this one or I might upload all the images into a slideshow anyway, but for now here are the St John’s Row Houses.

Another photo from another night out on the cliffs of Torbay. This time I went down towards the water itself. The weather here has taken a turn for the worse since then so it’s given me time to catch up on my photo processing.

Here is a photo from a walk in the neighbourhood last night. We are currently living in Torbay which is just outside St John’s, it’s like a suburb but dont let the locals hear me say that. This view is a 5 minute walk from the house.
