my very first excursion in st. john’s, newfoundland was a visit to signal hill national historic site of canada. i spent a few hours there hiking the north head trail from the top (at the parking lot) to north head at the entrance of st. john’s harbour. it was mid afternoon when i got started; so the light was not ideal for photography. the trail affords fantastic sights of the atlantic ocean – thankfully i was not too late to take in the few icebergs dotting the horizon. also great views of fort amherst and the st. john’s city harbour can be seen from various vantage points.
i elected not to do the entire 1.7km trail, but rather returned back to the top from north head, basically the same way i came. i spotted this boulder and knew there was a photograph there somewhere… the structure in the upper left of the frame is the cabot tower.
this photograph can be found in the following gallery: landscapes
