Bayview Memorial Hospital, Advocate, Nova Scotia
Taken more than 35 years ago, here's the original hospital at Advocate Harbour. Decades later it was replaced by a modern facility, the Bayview Memorial Health Center. Located on route 209 a half mile west of the school in Advocate, this hospital really had a VERY small town look. If circumstances created a patient overload situation, the next closest hospitals were in Parrsboro, Springhill, or Amherst.
The weather was cool with patches of fog blowing in off the bay on a very light breeze... so light that mosquitoes had no trouble dealing with it. Black flies, often a HUGE problem in this area, were totally absent.
Taken with my old 6x9 Century Graphic, Kodak Ektar 105mm f3.7 lens in a Flash Supermatic shutter, on Kodak CP100 color negative film. Badly faded / shifted color dyes made it necessary to convert it to a B&W image.
A copy was made using a Nikon D3500 camera with a 55mm Micro-Nikkor lens fitted with a Nikon 4T close-up lens, and a Sigma 1.6x close-up lens mounted on the 4T.
