| Viewing the harbour from Ron�s house made me want to go over to the Fort Amherst side and snap some photos, which I did! The water was incredibly blue today. It was a deep powder blue, if you can imagine that. The photos don�t do it justice. The Scademia came by as I was there. One time I rode on the Scademia and got to steer her over to Cape Spear from the Narrows. What a thrill that was! |
| I took several photos of the Rooms, way up there on the hill. It commanded attention just like it was supposed to. I tried to get both the cathedral and the rooms in the same shot. The seagull added some spice. |

| I sat on the fishing docks and took in the scene, happily sniffing the air, which smelled of fish. It was the way it should be. I must have sat and enjoyed the scene for 30 minutes or so, then went over to the city side to check out an unusual boat docked there. |

| I thought the signal flag explanation was cool and these seagulls caught my eye when they were hovering like a helicopter over a spot in the harbour. The winds were about 25 miles an hour and the gulls were having a ball, "surfing" the wind. |

| Turned out to be the Iceberg Vodka harvesting barge. Very interesting indeed! I was able to talk to one of the guys on the barge for a bit. He told me he loves the job but you have to be careful, around the icebergs so they don�t roll over on you. He enjoyed being able to work �close to home.� But he told me something I already knew � that there were no icebergs near St. John�s and that was unusual. My iceberg hunting was for naught this June trip. They knew I was coming and stayed in Greenland! |
