An iceberg flowed right by the Narrows (the entrance to St. John's Harbour) today. It disrupted sea travel. It's now flowed ALMOST out of the way.

But I would better like it if the metro area was bigger. The maritimes provinces deserve a big one ;) |

Nice pics of the Sherb.

Hahaha, Franks. If we're the Maritimes, you're Ontario. Maritimes predated our joining Canada. Joey popularized Atlantic Canada as a phrase because he didn't want us lumped in with them. And they didn't want us either. ;-) it annoys both sides, especially us, to count NL in the Maritimes.

On the other hand, "foothills/outdoorsy" city is a legitimate marketing niche where Denver can rule... Just my guess... |

So today I did the tourist thing and hiked to the top of the Southside Hills. I eavesdropped on a couple from Ireland, and actually met a charming couple from Toronto.
He was older, she was my age and smoking hot. But they were very affectionate, clearly a genuine couple in love. It was very endearing. And when a piece fell off one of the icebergs, she was like a child - no embarrassment at others seeing her so excited. I love people like that, no facade. A couple of pictures walking back through Cahill Point with St. John's in the distance. The tourists were wearing winter clothes. :haha: It was at least 20C, but with a cool breeze off the sea. I was in a t-shirt. http://www.signalhillhikerphotograph...2_edited-L.jpg http://www.signalhillhikerphotograph...4_edited-L.jpg And, FINALLY, something for scale in one of my iceberg pictures. Look at the bottom left. That's people. And this is only a medium-sized iceberg. This picture isn't zoomed in much at all. It's that close to shore. http://www.signalhillhikerphotograph...5_edited-L.jpg St. John's... you keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it does. http://www.signalhillhikerphotograph...8_edited-L.jpg |

Sherbrooke is lovely, I love the way it's just nestled in those forested hills. It's a pretty quintessentially Canadian setting, but as far as I can tell this is the only substantial city built in that sort of environment. I wish we had a large-ish city in Muskoka or the Madawaska Highlands or something. One in the Rocky Mountains too. |
