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.
Improperly dressed and in the hands of the fitter is W809DWX, seen here circling Savile Park on test.
This expanded version of Halifax Townhouse #2 is modeled very closely to the building that served as its inspiration (second from left in this artwork) which is now part of the Halliburton House Inn. It has a number of design cues that are echoed by other buildings in this area of Halifax, the most obvious of which is a third story that includes a sloping roof and one or two dormers.
The dormers are interesting in that they’re almost always hexagonal at the front, the main window flanked by two smaller windows at a 45° angle. As Lego builders know, it’s difficult to integrate angled walls into buildings, and even moreso into roofs. I think I came up with a solution that at least allowed me to capture the look and feel of the dormer, if not duplicate it perfectly.
The keen-eyed among you will probably spot the seam 2/3 of the way across the building. I left the smaller building intact as I intend to revert it to its original size; in fact, the roof and right side of the building simply lift right off. I have two other townhouses in the smaller scale and this expanded building, however nice, would simply look monstrous next to them. :D
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.

I have no problem hiking, walking, running etc is heels. But - um - the heels weren't quite up to the challenge.
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!
Team Pennine KX14FJZ, ex BUS343 in Malta, latterly with now defunct Powells, passes the site of the almost complete new Halifax Bus Station.
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.
I brought my camera along last week when I did a book reading and craft session for kids at the new Halifax Central library. Grabbed a few shots of the awesome architecture.

Nova Scotia not Yorkshire! My new home for a year. Been here with my family now for a month and this was my first trip out with the camera. This was taken from Dartmouth looking across to the Halifax city skyline.
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.
Team Pennine's Ex Yorkshire Tiger, new to K Line Solo MX08DHP running on a route that was, oddly, originally one of K Line's. Fountainhead is a housing development (described coyly as a 'village'!) on the site of the former Webster's Brewery, and one of the conditions attached to the permission to build the estate (sorry - village!) was that a bus service to town should be provided. The service was provided by K Line, its only long term service, I believe, in Calderdale (although I do remember the service from Halifax to Calderdale Royal Hospital which K Line briefly ran following the takeover of Halifax Joint Committee routes). Based in Honley, south of Huddersfield, latterly K Line was part of the Arriva/Centrebus joint venture that was Centrebus Holdings, which also ran Huddersfield Bus Co and White Rose Bus Co in Leeds. Centrebus Holdings became Yorkshire Tiger under full Arriva ownership. Huddersfield Bus Co had a significant presence in Calderdale with a depot in Elland (now Team Pennine's premises). Yorkshire Tiger ceased trading in July 2021 with Transdev Team Pennine being the latest operator trying to make a go of things.
