jelly beans in the rain

Jelly Bean Row is not a specific street or block of houses rather a term used to describe the groupings of colourful houses in St. John's, Newfoundland.

There are ares in the city where they are sparse and others where they extend along the block on both sides of the road. Some are freshly painted, many are weathered and in need of considerable TLC.

With only a few days in St. Johns and many sights to see in the area, I left photographing these unique structures until our last day and as luck would have it, in the rain. We walked for blocks, turning corners, crossing streets enjoying the kaleidoscope of colour.
