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.
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.
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.
Now Playing: Ghost Protocol
Nova Scotia now has a clear bag policy for trash--so it is evident that you have separated it properly. It's the ultimate in garbage transparency!
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.
As with Halifax Townhouse #1, this is a shallow building with a fully outfitted interior. I worked hard to come up with interesting corbels (a staple of old buildings around Halifax), changing it a number of times before I locked on to this design. The building itself is a partial recreation of a similar building right around the corner from here.
Technically, this is my first Halifax Townhouse. I built it about three months ago, but I've been tweaking it ever since! (You can see a previous version of it in this picture.)

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)!
Explored - Feb. 16, 2009 - Thank you all so very much!
Thanks Donna for the explore update!
Where:
Barrington Street
Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
When:
Near midnight after a snow storm last month
What:
Roaming the streets downtown just after a snow storm last month. I've tried shooting these street lamps with the lit wreaths around them a couple times. Once from the pedway above the street but never really liked the PoV I got. Anyway a couple buddies wanted to go downtown to get some snow shots. I crossed the street here with the camera setup on the tripod and just plunked it down, fired off a shot and ran before the truck ran over me! :-)
I mentioned it before but I just can't get over the cool starburst from this cheap "nifty-fifty" lens. If you own a Nikon, Canon or Pentax (maybe the others too?) go out and spend the $100 and pick up one of these lenses!
After always posting up pictures of fishing boats and villages I thought I should show you a little bit of the city for a change :-)
What I learned:
Wear a big coat to protect your camera from the snow when you aren't shooting. Also bring lots of little lens wipes.
You:
I appreciate all comments, tips, questions & faves! No need for glitzy awards, your "real" comments are much better!

The older features predominate in this view of Platform 1 at Halifax station. The chimney of Shaw Lodge Mills dominates the background. A local train formed of a Class150 DMU for Leeds is approching
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.
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.

9 March 2019
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.
Built in 1779 as a location for the trading of cloth. Halifax of course was pretty much the centre of the UK cloth industry for many centuries. The structure was built with a clear purpose but also to make an impression. For all visitors when first complete it must have made a statement of "look at us, our success, our wealth".
Four photograph stitched image. There is one glaring composition error here which I can't imagine will take long to spot.
