Newfoundland
Newfoundland friends swore to me that September was the off-season
month to go there because there were fewer tourists, the prices
are cheaper and the weather was normally wonderful. Not so
in 2005, but it is an important fact that the 50% without
rain was awesome.
Grey is often described as the local colour or lack thereof
but I would say the variety of blues from turquoise to purple
refer more appropriately to the water and rocks. Walls of
rock climb everywhere covered with trees of many varieties.
Believe me purple was the key colour of the work while white
houses light up the small communities.
In the fishing village of Champney near Trinity Bay houses
were being painted blues and yellows by the fishermen in the
‘off season’-a refreshing contrast.
The capital city of St. John’s has streets lined with
houses of brilliant colour. What a refreshing sight for the
eyes, which is demanding a second trip to record these colourful
unique streets.
