Sunrise over Signal Hill, Newfoundland. The first spot in Canada to see the beautiful morning dawn. / / Visit my website On The Rock Photography / /
Signal Hill Sunrise Ceremony, St. John’s Newfoundland. / / This was taken on Canada Day. Many Newfoundlanders mark the date of July 1st not as Canada Day, but as Memorial Day, the date of remembrance for the Beaumont-Hamel battle. / / On July 1, 1916, the first day of the Battle of the Somme in World War I, 801 soldiers of the 1st Newfoundland Regiment rose from the British trenches and went into battle at Beaumont-Hamel, nine kilometers north of Albert in France. After only 30 minutes the regiment was devastated. Only 68 men stood to answer the regimental role call the next morning. / / In November of 1916 His Majesty King George V granted the title “Royal” to the Newfoundland Regiment. No other regiment in the British Empire was awarded this signal honours. Today the site of the battle is known as Newfoundland Memorial Park. / / ..................................... / Click here to add me to your watch list. / .....................................

Taken from Signal Hill, this is a photo of Cabot Tower, in St. John’s Newfoundland. Cabot Tower was built in 1897 to commemorate the 400th anniversary of John Cabot’s discovery of Newfoundland. / In addition to being the site of harbor defenses for St. John’s from the 18th century to the Second World War, Signal Hill was the reception point of the first transatlantic wireless signal by Guglielmo Marconi in 1901. He received the letter “S” in Morse Code sent from Cornwall, England. / Cabot Tower is now the center of the Signal Hill National Historic Park, Canada’s second largest historic park, with walking trails, and an interpretation center. Special Thanks to Colin Tobin for use of his camera and the lessons! In the buyer’s booth you can see what a printed card of this image looks like courtesy of Sharon Perrett. Thanks Sharon!
Title from a section of a poem by Lilla Cabot Perry (1848 -1933) My love dost see this little pale blue flower? / I plucked it where the summer fields stretched wide, / Sun-kissed, embraced by hills on every side, / In purple distance stretching to the sea. / There sprang my tears at the swift thought of thee
October 5, 2005, the slope of North Mountain on the Cabot Trail, Cape Breton Highlands National Park, Nova Scotia, Canada. The highlands of Cape Breton Island provide unbelievably bright colours at the peak of the fall season. Winds off the North Atlantic, with onshore fog in the far distance,combined with bright sunshine, make the slopes turn into carpets of living colour. As an artist friend of mine said,” if I did a painting exactly like this, people would say I overdid the colours”. Tours come from all over North America specifically to do the Fall Colours Tour of the Cabot Trail. / Sony DSCF828 camera.
Taken in Brandon Hill Bristol.

Taken from a balcony in The Rooms, a provincial museum, art gallery, and archives. This photo features a view of down town St. John’s Newfoundland. You can see the narrows, the only entrance to St. John’s harbour, as well as the Southside hills and Signal hill. / I took this photo with my Canon Rebel XSI, and I slightly altered the photo using Lightroom 2.
I could read the thoughts in her eyes, I’m here and you’re there and let’s keep it that way! These two moose were grazing peacefully in a boggy patch on top of McKenzie Mountain on the Cabot Trail, Cape Breton Highlands National Park, October 2005. Getting along towards sunset and just lucky(?) enough to stumble across them and get a couple of shots. And very carefully retreat!Taken with a Sony DSCF828 camera.

A view of Cabot Tower on Signal Hill, located at St.John’s Newfoundland
This photo was taken from the the bottom of Gibbet Hill Lookout on Signal Hill, next to the Visitor Interpretation Centre. During the war this cannon, among others, was one of the defenses for the St. John’s harbor in Newfoundland. This spot offers an amazing view of the Narrows, Fort Amherst and the Southside of the harbour, and is part of a National Historic Site in Canada. / With access to a variety of hiking trails, and located near Cabot Tower and the Johnson Geocenter is it a lovely spot to visit while touring St. John’s. Also taken using Colin Tobin’s camera, a canon xti. Thanks Colin! / Some small adjustments were made in lightroom 2. I adjusted the color of the sky somewhat, and I used the program Gimp to remove a jet stream that was taking away from the clouds and sky.
This is Bristol’s Cabot Tower basking in the early morning sun and reflecting in one of the ponds in Brandon Hill Park. Cabot Tower is built high on a hill on top of Brandon Hill 260 feet above the Harbour behind Park Street. This 105 feet high tower commemorates the 400th anniversary of John Cabot’s voyage to Newfoundland in America in 1497. He set sail in May in the Matthew in search of a new route to Asia.
Going through my many photos I came accross this one that I took last summer… It was a cool calm cloudy day… I hope to someday visit the hill again when it is is sunny out
This is a picture from the top of Cabot Tower on Signal Hill in St. John’s NL. I really like this one because it captures a variety of things such as the tourists and water.
I visited Signal Hill, St. John’s at sunrise and thought this shot would be a good one. I love how the the morning light makes a cold morning more warm to the eye.
This combination of cliffs, beach and eroded rock formations is on the west coast of Cape Breton Island,Nova Scotia, along the world-famous Cabot Trail. Named after John Cabot, the Bristol-based explorer who landed on Cape Breton (or Newfoundland, nobody is really sure) in 1497. The waters here are of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. / This image was taken in September 2006 with a Sony DSCF828 camera.
