Canada
St Johns
Atlantic winds meet Victorian streetscapes in Canada's easternmost capital, where fog rolls through colorful rowhouses.
St. John's moves to the rhythm of the harbor, where fishing boats share space with oil rigs against a backdrop of steep streets lined in jewel-toned clapboard. The city wears its isolation proudly—here, at the edge of North America, conversations stretch longer and music sessions run deep into the night.
