Halifax Nova Scotia's old sector is filled with great wooden buildings with clean, simple lines.... This building is part of the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic.
I'm on the ferry from Digby, NS to Saint John, NB right now. I'll get back to you when I get home. What a wonderful trip! I thought I was over with the long drivings, at 71. Apparently, I'm not! By myself and feeling great!
Halifax Public Gardens are one of the finest surviving examples of a Victorian garden in North America. They were founded by the Nova Scotia Horticultural Society in 1836 and were recognized as a National Historic Site in 1984. The Halifax Public Gardens is also part of Canada’s Garden Route.
37402 "Stephen Middlemore 23.12.1954 - 8.6.2013" and saloon "Caroline" pass through Halifax station forming 2Z02 09:19 York Holgate to York. 18/7/2019. This was the only spot that I could think of to capture this very rare loco-hauled train through Halifax, as all the locations in the vicinity are totally vegged-up now. Also it's a good job the sun wasn't out, as I was totally against the light here and the shot would have been a write off.
Rewind to 2010 and Halifax Joint Committee were still in operation using a number of former London MCW Metrobuses.
KYO624X was number 24 in the fleet and was the last to receive a full repaint into fleet livery. It was also fitted with an LED display.
It was captured here on 20/10/10.
On my morning photowalk, I explored some of the downtown, but also their wonderful wonderful waterfront. It's quite extensive, and I wasn't able to explore the entirety of it. Oddly, even though there are many world-class attractions there, I was QUITE taken by the little village of sea cans that were converted to shops.

Day one of our east coast adventure started early, with a 2 a.m. wakeup to get to our 6 a.m. departure out of Calgary. We flew to Toronto where we had lunch and changed planes for the onward journey to Halifax. Not much left of the day, so we rendezvoused with Geoff, my composer friend, for dinner.
This is my view from a spot where the photographer Bill Brandt took his famous photo of the Halifax 'Snicket'. It's been done many times before including by me but it's hard to resist attempt.
A scene shortly to disappear. Yorkshire Tiger will cease trading a couple of weeks from now to be replaced by Transdev Team Pennine, a new business. Buses are to be coloured magenta and Tiger orange will gradually disappear. Staff, premises, and 61 buses will transfer to the new owners. People will argue about this, but the Spectra is a faint echo of the Halifax Joint Committee Metrobuses which used to growl up Rye Lane on this route. Although the Spectra isn't a descendant of the Metrobus, it can be argued that it was partially inspired by it at least. YG52CFX was transferred to Tiger from Arriva Yorkshire.
Halifax Joint Committee MCW Metrobus 162 is seen on the 34 in Halifax 12/11/2008.
This was new to London Transport as M1162 in 1985.
Halifax Transit 1395, a 2021 Nova Bus LFS, on route 87 at the Sackville Transit Terminal on Thursday, June 1st, 2023.
Halifax Joint Committee MCW Metrobus number 24 is seen on the 28 heading back into Halifax town centre on 20/10/2010.
This was new to London Transport in 1981 as M624 and was an impressive 29 years old when photographed here. Not many Metrobuses lasted long enough to get an LED display (albeit a bad one)!
