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.Corey Fordhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01061540757536284686noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2918041569369530563.post-86713505797312057522007-07-31T19:36:00.001-02:302008-12-09T06:13:41.190-03:30Flying Around<p align="center"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7lToZt_Z2hA/Rq-1laLnrAI/AAAAAAAAAOI/I2QbrPaS6kw/s1600-h/P7157495.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5093489357867166722" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7lToZt_Z2hA/Rq-1laLnrAI/AAAAAAAAAOI/I2QbrPaS6kw/s320/P7157495.JPG" border="0" /></a></p><br /><br /><br /><br /><p align="center"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7lToZt_Z2hA/Rq-yyaLnq_I/AAAAAAAAAOA/BJBCrGfQ7Qk/s1600-h/P7157513.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5093486282670582770" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7lToZt_Z2hA/Rq-yyaLnq_I/AAAAAAAAAOA/BJBCrGfQ7Qk/s320/P7157513.JPG" border="0" /></a></p><br />I was out recently and spotted these quick little flies about, does anybody know what they are called?

The best so far was this trip to Twillingate (also in the previous post). They certainly attract a lot of tourists which is excellent for the local area. I really liked the opportunity I had with the rainbow too, my son Tyler is studying the wave action and trying to reach a piece of ice from the berg. He succeeded, and iceberg ice is NOT salty, (I had to try it). Unfortunately we didn't have a cooler as he collected quite a bit and it is good for drinks, lasts longer than icecube ice from home.Corey Fordhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01061540757536284686noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2918041569369530563.post-4941960314369426912007-06-12T22:51:00.000-02:302008-12-09T10:42:15.212-03:30Icebergs<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7lToZt_Z2hA/Rm9IS0UG4XI/AAAAAAAAALQ/7b8ZBM5Bl_w/s1600-h/P6106622.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5075354793187664242" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7lToZt_Z2hA/Rm9IS0UG4XI/AAAAAAAAALQ/7b8ZBM5Bl_w/s320/P6106622.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><p align="center"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7lToZt_Z2hA/Rm9HtUUG4WI/AAAAAAAAALI/Uj5212Aaqbg/s1600-h/P6106599.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5075354148942569826" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7lToZt_Z2hA/Rm9HtUUG4WI/AAAAAAAAALI/Uj5212Aaqbg/s320/P6106599.JPG" border="0" /></a></p><div></div><br /><p align="center"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7lToZt_Z2hA/Rm9GxkUG4VI/AAAAAAAAALA/oSzlF6L4ZU0/s1600-h/P6106573.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5075353122445386066" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7lToZt_Z2hA/Rm9GxkUG4VI/AAAAAAAAALA/oSzlF6L4ZU0/s320/P6106573.JPG" border="0" /></a></p><div></div><div>We took a late afternoon drive up to Twillingate Sunday and this year there is an abundance of Icebergs.
