Aah, gee...shucks! I come to Mary's blog for cats and/or pano's of gorgeous fields and beaches but, today, all I got was a cityscape ...

[grin]
Mary MacADNski: I was taking a photo of someone fishing and all these buildings were ruining the view.

Looks like a big modern place Mary
Mary MacADNski: Halifax is a lovely city. My daughter is moving there again so I'll be visiting again more often.

Plenty of photo opportunities there for us ship fanciers. Nice one Mary.
Mary MacADNski: Halifax has a Navy yard so ships ans subs are part of the landscape.
Are we going to see more of Nova Scotia?
Mary MacADNski: No. I was very busy in Halifax and didn't take the camera out of the bag. We stopped here to walk the dog and I got a shot or two.
I'm catching up after a week away mary. It really is nice round your way, and I enjoyed looking at them all.
Mary MacADNski: Thanks Brian. I was away twice in the last little while myself.

A few years ago I flew to Europe. We were for about one hour over the Atlantics, when we smelled that something burns. The plane turned around and made an emergency landing in Halifax, Nova Scotia. They didn't allow us to leave the plane. In two hours we were in the air again. The passengers demanded an explanation and finally we heard the captains voice: "The crew of mechanics thouroghly checked the plane and found nothing wrong". The passsengers were puzzled, worryingly looking at each other. "Oh captain, you are such a stupid ass", I said to myself, "you could've said, it was a minor problem and it is fixed now, and folks would have a piece of mind".
That's what comes to my mind, when I hear Halifax, Nova Scotia. smile
Mary MacADNski: That is a bad memory. Maybe you can erase it now with a memory of a man in a blue shirt fishing in Halifax Harbour. Today's shot is of the same fisher but with one of the bridges linking the two cities.
A little different to where you live Mary.
Mary MacADNski: Yes, my kids have all lived here and one will be again soon so I spend a fair amount of time here. It's a nice change from the country life.
Nice and even funny to see this man fishing with the town there !
Mary MacADNski: I liked the idea.
Did the fish bite? with all that noise from the ships.
Mary MacADNski: I did not see him catch anything while I was there.
