Newfoundland (left) and Labrador on Signal Hill
Our next stop on tour our of St. John’s was the charming Petty Harbour located on Maddox Cove, which I introduced you to last Wednesday. Let’s take a quick last look at the sights here before moving onward:

As you can see, the village area along the waterfront is quite colorful:

And I’m a sucker for weathered wood buildings:

From here we would make our way toward Signal Hill, but first we made a quick photo stop at the Railway Coastal Museum:

Petty Harbour
We arrived at this charming fishing village about twenty minutes after leaving Cape Spear. This is Petty Harbour on Maddox Cove, about fifteen minutes outside of St. John’s, and fishing has been a way of life here for well over 500 years:
Still fishing here after 500 years!
The charm of this place begins, of course, with the colors. Bright blue-and-white fishing boats with rustic wooden buildings in the background:

There is much here to capture with your camera, and you’ll find yourself snapping away almost continuously:

Petty Harbour pretty much speaks for itself, so I’ll just shut up now and let this town do the talking:
