I thought it might be about time I posted a more urban shot!
For those of you that don't know this is a view of Halifax Skyline. I took this whilst on board the ferry across from Dartmouth. See I don't live in a fishing shack :o).
Purdy's Wharf is an office complex located in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Built over the water at the edge of Halifax Harbour and resting on pilings, it consists of two office towers, and a smaller office structure called Purdy's Landing. Purdy's Landing is commonly referred to as the "Xerox building", due to a large Xerox sign that used to hang on the exterior of the building. The complex also contains a seven-story parkade as well as pedways connecting the complex to Casino Nova Scotia and the Downtown Halifax Link system.
Purdy's Wharf has a unique, energy-efficient cooling system that works by circulating sea water through a heat exchanger system with the building's cooling water. The colder sea water chills the building's cooling water, which is then circulated through the buildings.
This isn’t your typical perspective of the Old Town Clock on Citadel Hill in Halifax. The damp, overcast night created the perfect conditions for the clock's lights to radiate a soft, enchanting glow, giving the scene a timeless charm.

The Halifax River is an inland waterway along Florida's East Coast, running between Palm Coast and Daytona Beach. These shots were taken from the roadway which runs between Bulow Creek State Park and Tomoka Island State Park.
On our second day in Halifax for the Unison Choruses Festival, I started the day with a short walkabout in the downtown and waterfront prior to the start of the event as I had some time to kill before festival delegate registration began. There weren't any actual festival concerts until the evening, but I needed to connect with the organizers ahead of the busy days to come.
Ex York Park & Ride B7RLE YJ08XYN proceeds along King Cross, Halifax. King Cross has seen some rapid changes in recent years, perhaps one of the most significant being the conversion of the Junction pub to a solicitor's offices. The Junction was originally a Whitaker's house. Richard Whitaker & Sons Ltd had its brewery in Corporation Street, near Dean Clough, and closed in the late 1960s after being taken over by Whitbread. The Junction had a chequered existence under a number of subsequent owners, but its pub days are now over.
Ex Rossendale Transport B7RLE PO59MMA proceeds through King Cross, returning to Halifax from Rochdale. Above King Cross Surgery can be seen the top of Wainhouse Tower, a prominent local landmark.

Halifax 521/522 services appear to have been rebranded & the vehicles partially repainted as 'Red Arrow'. YJ54XNA is seen on a miserable November morning. Apologies for the poor quality - the light wasn't good!

YN58FYF stands in Horton Street, Halifax, after completing a faultless and comfortable 10 hour journey from Weymouth. It has been deputising for a failed Tourismo, and has been from Blackburn to Eastbourne, Torquay, and Weymouth over the last few days. It is a Great Harwood based reserve vehicle in the Daish/Robinson fleet. Daish's bought Robinsons of Great Harwood, Lancs, a year or two since. YN58FYF is standing at the Daish pick up point outside the offices of O&C Holdsworth Ltd, the previous owners of Robinsons. O&C Holdsworth were the founders of the original Hebble Motor Services in 1923 in Halifax. YN58FYF was due to return to Great Harwood the following day for a nice lie down after its hectic few days.
Three Yorkshire Tiger vehicles laying over in Halifax Bus Station - shortly to be 'improved' (the bus station, that is). The Town Hall flag can be seen at half mast marking the death of HRH Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, a few days previously.
For a while this independent brightened the scene in Halifax. In December 1998 RM 324 loads in central Halifax.
