The Town held an event as part of the 50th birthday celebrations last weekend at the community centre. There were several places set up to get your picture taken with some sort of backdrop to showcase the event, this cake being one of them.

F-16 at CYQX - Gander
11 Dutch F-16's visited here a couple weeks ago and I was fortunate enough to be in the right place at the right time. I have several other good snaps but for some reason they won't upload to blogger for me?

Wow, I can't believe the summer is gone and school is started again. Time flies and it's been a month since I had a chance to post! I've taken lots of snaps in that time and am still sorting them out.......hope to post a little more often now....hoping to...
This is just a little sample of an enourmous amout of pictures taken this day at Cape St. Mary's. To get the idea of the amount of birds on the seastack click on the top picture for a closer look.

View from the Harbour
The view from on the water in St. John's Harbour is quite different from the view on land. My first trip out there was only a couple of years ago, despite having grown up in the area. I like the different perspective it gives on the familiar landmarks. The first picture is "The Basilica Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist" a 152 year old Catholic church. The second picture is "The Rooms," Newfoundland and Labrador's newest cultural and historical showplace. The Rooms unites the Provincial Museum, the Provincial Art Gallery and the Provincial Archives under one roof. It was built to model after the "fishing rooms" where families came together to process their catch. The last picture is "The Battery" situated at the entrance to St. John's Harbour at the base of the steep slopes of Signal Hill.

Flying Around
I was out recently and spotted these quick little flies about, does anybody know what they are called? They are nearly 2 inches in length, at times it is almost as they can hover in place.

Canadian Coast Guard & Elizabeth Madeline
"Canadian Coast Guard" ship just came out of the fog headed right for St. John's Harbour.
"Elizabeth Madeline" making her way home to St. John's harbour. The "Iceberg Quest" Ocean Tours boat behind. One thing always never very far from the East Coast is that bank of fog, you can see it very visible in the background here.
Fort Amherst
Fort Amherst was built in the 1770s to defend the entrance to the Narrows. The original fort has long disappeared. During the second World War, gun placements were installed to protect the harbour from German u-boats.
