There has to be a way to blend together the phrase "Full Disclosure". I almost wrote "Full Foreclosure", but then I realized... why are they separate anyway? It should just be something like Fullclosure.
So, fullclosure, I've had a few drinks while processing pictures. Red Stripe mostly, but I also had Island Gold and Dominus Ver-something... it means "God be with you" in Latin. Good beer. Weird name.
So anyhow... tourists. Icebergs. Beautiful St. John's. SUNSHINE! All of these things fell into my lap today. Oh my God, I had to backspace and correct that sentence so many times. And that one. But look how good it looks. Look at it! Flawless. Wouldn't even know.
These guys released another album called "Newfoundland Drinking Songs". That's where it's at, b'y.
So...

Here we go... I climbed to the top of the Southside Hills again, first time this year. Lovely spot, lovely view. Always people up there going at it. I saw a guy with two girls once. One hid, he gave me a thumbs up. Other girl was bend over facing the other way and didn't even see me come up the trail.
You can watch Duckworth Street while you're at it:
This church used to be Methodist and it had a normal steeple. Then it became United and they decided it needed to be tropical. It's on a street named for one of the least-popular leaders in our history. Old folks still use his surname as a curse word and he's been dead forever.
This is the Basilica of St. John the Baptist. But it's not actually a Basilica, architecturally. It just has that status. That sums up our history pretty well. That said, it WAS the inspiration for St. Patrick's in New York City. Their Bishop came and said, "If 30,000 fishermen can build such a house, surely we can in New York City do better!". We have more than 30,000 now.
St. Thomas and the Military Road area. Bring your pay stub if you want them to give you the time of day.
Cabot Tower. Crawling with tourists. I'll update this post when one falls and dies. Happens often enough. One had to be taken off the hill in a helicopter last year. She didn't even fall. She was just too exhausted to get back.
The metropolis that is our Downtown West End. Our skyline. Eat your heart out, Hong Kong.
This used to be a church. Now it's an office building and condos. It'd be too freaked out to live in it, I think.
Our current Legislature as a province of Canada behind our former Parliament as an independent country. If I squint, I can be happy.
My hood. My house is the purple one, but you're seeing the arse of her, not the front. Ooh, that's a SECOND arse reference. Now this thread title really makes sense.
The Anglican Cathedral of St. John the Baptist. 1699-ongoing, the congregation. There's a brick in there with Jesus' face on it. They goes mad for it.
Harbourside Park and the National War Memorial. This is where shirtless hotties lounge around all day in the summer.
I wants another song.

The east end. This is where we store all the elderly. The city dump is the beautiful area off in the distance.
Looking out from the city toward Cape Spear. Sadly, it's not names after penises or getting laid. It's a bastardization of the Portuguese Cabo de Esperanza or whatever, which the French changes to Cap D'espoir. And when the English finally took it over and slaughtered the lot in 1583, we called it Cape Spear.
I uploaded these in a weird order, I guess. Now we're back on the Southside Hills from the beginning, looking over at Signal Hill.
A piece fell off. A lady from Toronto next to me just about cried of joy.
Remember that Hubble picture where they zoomed in on a black piece of sky and, voila, countless galaxies in the picture? The ocean is like that. Zoom in where you see nothing, and voila:
If you cut me open, this is what me insides looks like.
I have nothing to say about this one.
Looking back toward the city from the same spot.
St. John's... you keep using this word. I don't think it means what you think it does. Trail me arse.

That rocky road, b'ys. Loves it! CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) filmed this when they were still trying to figure us out.

DON'T JUMP!
Tourists. We don't have the NYC problem or them not moving over as we walk by.
Some nice wha...
B'ys out for a row, sure. They came out the Narrows and hit the big swells. I could hear them laughing and they quickly scrabbled to get back in to calmer waters. Then they paddled around the harbour like youngsters.
The icebergs are big. And this is only a medium one.
These cliffs are the ones I was on top of for most of the previous pictures. Now I'm right down in Fort Amherst almost to seal level. lol Typo but it stays. I love it!
More tourists. It's 20C and they're wearing winter clothes. You Americans. Making fun of us.
Bird shit and rainbows.
The sun is in the sky, oh why, oh why
Would I wanna be anywhere else
When you look with eyes, everything seems nice
But if you look twice, you'll see it's all lies
You might smile, you might frown
Walking 'round St. John's town
The Royal Newfoundland Regiment Band. About the only members who survived WWI.
You're back in Hong Kong now.
Now you're back in St. John's.
These canons are to keep the French from re-conquering the city. They're not so interested in it these days. But b'ys in the 1700s we couldn't get rid of them.
They were actually Irish. Newfoundlanders on steroids.
Watch you're step, sure. I'm after nearing falling many times myself.
