St. John's is a city full of colour both in character and sights. My friend Dave and I explored and he patiently waited while I snapped pictures. The harbour is one of the safest strongholds Canada has as the entrance has cliffs and is very narrow. The canons defending the entrance and inner harbour are still on display (but those sites are for another blog). 

Today I wanted to highlight the colourful buildings and narrow streets of Outer Battery Village and the view of downtown St. John's with its Jelly Bean Houses.

Outer Battery VillageThe brightly painted houses settled into the cliff side in St. John's Harbour The narrow roads of Outer Battery VillageI was glad my friend Dave volunteered to navigate the car through the village! No Two Way Traffic HereThe roads through the village are so tiny.

Birds Make a Cozy Home on the RoofI'm not sure if the inside of this building is inhabited but these birds seem to have made themselves a home. Outer Battery VillageI can't imagine living here but I'm so glad I had a chance to walk through the narrow streets and meet some of the friendly people.
