Some pics of my trip to Newfoundland

[DDReptiles]

Hey,

Well back in late May, early June I went back up to Newfoundland (we go about every year) just to see relatives (sure wasn't a herping trip as there are no herps on the island) but there is a lot of incredible wildlife. Newfoundland is basically the East Coast Alaska Love kayaking/Scuba diving with the Humpback whales, as they are up that way for breeding (then they head back down south for birth). We stayed in St. Johns (the capital) as other than that, it is a pretty desolate island. Just thought I would share some of the scenery, city, etc.

Houses along the harbor:

These are from Signal Hill Hike, Signal Hill (Cabot Tower) is where the first telegraph was sent across the Atlantic:

Cape Spear (the most easternly point in North America) is just out of view, but its on the far laft of the land in the foreground:

Great shots.... thanks for the tour!
Unreal, that car is parked on a deck. It looks pretty worn.
How did you get such a level shot of the Bald Eagle? Were you on the side of the hill? Was it fishing? It looks focused or interested in something.
The only time that I get to see them is when I go back home to visit family too -- both the Bald and the Golden Eagles -- so cool to see them just glide right off of a tree.

Sarah.
