Holyrood Beach & Harbour

Holyrood Beach & Harbour
Originally uploaded by by the bay gal

I took this beautiful shot last night with my new camera (given to me for Christmas). I'm hoping to take more shots around Holyrood and will have them posted to my blog within a day or two of taking the shot. I live in an amazingly beautiful town. I am so lucky!

I pass this scene almost every day. So last night I thought it would be a great idea to have a night view captured with my great camera. I think I may have captured some of the essence of it's beauty.

Our town!

I stated on my last blog that I would show some of the scenes I see on my walk about the town.. well.. I haven't taken new pictures, but I've dug up some older shots I've taken over the past year or so.

Holyrood is an beautiful little town at the head of Conception Bay. It's Website has much useful information for the visitor and resident alike... http://www.townofholyrood.com/default.php?display=modNews&do=viewNews&nid=23

I'll begin by showing a view of the most often seen part of the town, the Main Beach area...

This photo shows a view of the old fish plant which is now in the process of being replaced by a new school for Marine Offshore services. I'll add a new photo when the buildings are completed. The new buildings are quite esthetically pleasing and fit into the look of the town quite well.









The next photo is a view of the Main Beach area from the hill overlooking the harbour on the Conception Bay Highway.










This is a view of the Walkway and mural along the walkway that depicts a train travelling through the town (the walkway was originally the train track bed).
