Urban landscapes: Beauty on the rocky hill
THE BATTERY, ST. JOHN’S, NEWFOUNDLAND
The Battery is a neighbourhood in the capital city of Newfoundland and Labrador. It’s on the entrance to the harbour, on the slopes of Signal Hill. The Battery is sometimes described as an outport within the city and is noted for its steep slopes and colourful houses. I made this picture from across the harbour using a telephoto lens. It’s astonishing to find such stunning beauty in an urban centre, but this is common in one of Canada’s most scenic provinces.

Beautiful. It’s very European looking, isn’t it? There are similar villages and hamlets all over Europe, especially around the Mediterranean.
