The Virtual Paintout is making one of its rare
excursions into Canada this month – to the island portion of the province of
Newfoundland & Labrador.
Signal Hill was the site of St. John’s harbour defences
from the 17th century to the Second World War, and where Guglielmo
Marconi received the world’s first transatlantic wireless signal in 1901. It’s a great place for hiking, and even better for
motoring around in the Google car or whatever they used to find this Streetview. Here’s another view of St. John’s from the gun emplacement in the centre of
my painting. They must have used something besides their car to get to that one.
