One of the highlights was whale watching with my cousin and her family. We were fortunate enough to have two curious whales come to the boat to put on a show for over 20 minutes. After that, we went to Bird Island to see the Puffins. The island is home to millons of seabirds.
My aunt was gracious enough to loan me her car one day. I spent the time driving along Conception Bay highway exploring every back road I could find. I finished the day in Brigus, another old, historic fishing village. The Brigus photos are some of my first attempts at HDR photography.
After a few days in St. John's, I went to my aunt's cabin in Harbour Main. Despite having a few drinks the night before, I managed to get early enough on the Saturday morning to catch the sunrise. Just after the sun came up a bank of fog come rolling over the town, through the harbour and out to sea.
I spent a day walking around St. John's - starting at the top of Signal Hill, around the trail and through The Battery. After winding up downtown, I wandered around for the day, ending up in the small fishing village of Quidi Vidi.
I recently travelled to Newfoundland to visit some family and take lots of pictures. My first full day on the island was gray and foggy so it was hard to get any landscape shots. My aunt took me on a tour of the area north of St. John's into Torbay and Middle Cove, followed by a trip out to Petty Harbour.
