This iconically colourful neighbourhood is the first you see when your cruise through the harbour narrows. It’s also the start of one of the most popular hiking trails in St. John’s, the North Head trail. It winds it way along the coast up to the top of Signal Hill.For a brief time each spring and fall, the sun rises through the St. John’s Harbour narrows bringing memorable mornings to light. I’m pleased to share this morning’s version with you. Enjoy!Sunrise in St. John’s is a busy time of day.
