So, today my hike was to the top of Cuckold's Cove, which is in between St. John's and Quidi Vidi, basically across Cuckold's Cove from the backside of Signal Hill. A few scenes from there and the parking garage of 351 Water Street.

I love, love, love autumn. The blueberry shrubs turn red, the moss turns yellow, and with the patches of green that still remain, it's just delicious.

The Quidi Vidi Battery, which is an actual battery and not just a neighbourhood names after one long gone, as in the Battery proper.
The little fishing village of Quidi Vidi, just a 10-minute walk over the hill from downtown St. John's.
Pleasantville (formerly an American base, and massive. It's been divided up and gradually sold off and shut down since Canada took control. The city has a master plan to develop the entire neighbourhood with different styles of housing that achieve the same population density as downtown (up to 6,000 ppl/km2).
A waterfall with some weird... thing... on it. My family's ancestral home in Quidi Vidi, I practically grew up out there visiting relatives, and I have never, ever noticed that waterfall before.
