I don't know what the official way to phrase this is, but the side says Canon EOS Rebel T3i.

Take your hub caps off before you head up there, if you want to keep them. ;-) Kidding, but seriously, it's a very... let's say "Libertarian"... part of town.

...someone who probably knows the city much better than I...

You've already got the Maritimes/Newfoundland divide down, hahaha. I bet you're doing fine.

I see you're from Calgary but going to school here... man, you must be so sick of "going the wrong way" jokes. From both cities, hahaha...

Ha, I see. I'd be on foot anyway, at least for the next year.

I think I learned that on this site before I even moved there. Constantly correcting people now.

I knew what I was getting into when I applied, lol. BTW, Calgary-St. John's flights are AWESOME. Every trip home is like a high school reunion of b'ys heading to Ft. Mac. Shit, last Christmas, even the co-pilot was from Deer Lake or something.

I know! It almost feels like the plane is going to get to St. John's and go house to house dropping people off.

I love the pictures!

Some of the shots show how the trees are often hidden behind the rows of houses.

Really great photos !!

A gem of a city. Colorful indeed. I wish my ship had pulled into port here (we only hit Halifax on the way back to the States from the UK). I love the hills though I doubt I could navigate them now. Thanks for the tour.

A gem indeed. St. John's has the stature and character of a city many times it's size. The heritage is outstanding.

very nice to see this place. my grandparents used to drive out from cleveland to st.johns & halifax during the summers back in the 1960s, they loved it.

Thank you for the kind comments, everyone. It feels wonderful to know you like the city.
