The pink, the Rose of England shows
The green, St. Patrick's emblem, bright
While, in between, the spotless sheen
Of Andrew's Cross displays the white
What'er betide our Ocean Bride
That nestles 'midst Atlantic's foam
Still far and wide, we'll raise with pride
Our native flag, o'er hearth and home
Then hail; the pink, the white, the green
Our patriot flag, long may it stand
Our sirelands twine, their emblems trine
To form the flag of Newfoundland

Hey Ryan, you should teach me how to use my (not overly impressive) camera sometime. It's more than a point and click, but it's nothing special. I've never really learned how to properly use it, and I think that I could take higher quality (and share-worthy) photos if I knew how.
Had a random urge to snap a picture of New Gower street as I left City Hall today. You can see 351 Water Street being finished up on the left hand side, and Fortis Place under construction in the distance on the right.
It looks beautiful. Now, if only we could get rid of, oh, everything in the foreground. City Hall I can tolerate for another generation... it's the ugliest city hall in Canada, but at least it has a style. That pedway and the building across the street it connects to are just cheap nothingness. They HAVE to go ASAP.

For the night shots, the streetlights always come out seemingly yellow; have you tried adjusting the camera's incandescent/tungsten white balance to see if it might look more neutral? I always used to do something like that in post processing, but haven't taken night shots for awhile now.
Here, I tweaked one of them for comparison without doing much, I'm not sure if it looks better though. There may however be more advanced filters in photoshop, which I no longer have. Hope you don't mind, and no one can see the image except here on this page.
