Scenes from Halifax

Camp Hill cemetery. Famous people such as journalist Joseph Howe and Alexander Keith are buried here. My apartment backs onto the cemetery, which I find quite lovely with all the large trees.

Point Pleasant Park near downtown Halifax. It's about a 2.5 km run/walk/ride from my apartment.

 One of many statues of old men around Halifax.
This guy (Cornwallis) helped found the townsite
 of Halifax in 1749.

Arrr! Lots of swarthy fellow around Halifax.

Down by thee harbour.

Some rules are meant to be broken.
(Plaque reads: For your protection do not climb).
I guess the kids can't read anyway.

Mon ecole! The University of King's College, est. 1789!  All my classes are in that building, either in the basement or on the third floor. The pub is conveniently between the two.  

Yup, that's where I go.

Looking onto Peggy's Cove from Polly's Cove. 

Polly's Cove.

Literally a hop, skip and a jump from chez moi. It's a great local joint.

Halifax ghost tour.

According to my ghost walk tour guide,
Press gangs used to "recruite" men from
bars late at night to join the ships.

A haunted building? Downtown Halifax.

The 15th annual Pumpkin Regatta in Windsor, N.S. Thanksgiving weekend.

Fans at the pumpkin regatta.

Fall colours, somewhere between Wolfville and Cape Split. 

Cape Split with my friend / tour guide Alex from Windsor N.S. He was down for a visit from Dawson City, Yukon. 

Cape Split. Sure was windy!

Hold on to your hats, folks!
