Tall Ship Silva, Halifax

Halifax is the capital of the Province of Nova Scotia.
We did several things while at Halifax but the highlight was ‘sailing’ on the “Tall Ship Silva”.
It was a hot, sunny day. We had a delicious lunch at Los Toros Auténtico Español and enjoyed walking along the Halifax Harborwalk. We also visited “The Citadel-National Historic Park” which sits on top of the hill overlooking Halifax.

As we were returning from our sailing trip one of the Canadian Navy submarines set sail and cruised out right in front of us.

The Citadel National Historic Park – a star shaped fortress. We stood around in the hot sun waiting for the “changing of the guard”. Never again…

‘Virginia Square’

The area of Virginia Avenue, Fountain Square, and Siam Square.

Enjoyed a beautiful spring day with family (and of course, the camera).
Shot below is from a corner just north of Siam Square. Siam Square is a great Thai restaurant in Fountain Square along Virginia Avenue, just SE of downtown Indianapolis.

I like the simple perfection of this doorway, sort of oriental or ‘shaker oval box like’

There is a great little ‘reuse’ shop on Virginia Ave; also just north of Fountain Square. Full of ‘stuff’ for sale salvaged from demolition projects. This was unstaged, just some odd bottles in front of an old beveled edge mirror but could imagine it in an old  apothecary shop.

Another shot inside the ‘reuse’ shop. Some cool shadows and lots of salvaged ‘stuff’ hanging around…

Downtown Streetscapes

I stumbled onto a webside called “flickeflu.com” with a nice display of flickr photos on a black background http://flickeflu.com/photos/dadart

I scrolled through some old shots and stopped at the two cityscapes below, remembering that I liked them but had forgotten. So… here they are.

This one, downtown Indianapolis, corner of Mass Ave and N Delaware, just north of Wheeler Mission.
The glass ‘people sculptures’ are getting old and looking worn out during the daytime. I thought they would look good only at night so it was a happy suprise to see them looking good as they stood in the in the shade of a building watching the sun come up on the city…

Downtown Columbus, IN. Don’t remember street names but apparently somewhere just to ‘the left’ of Wells Fargo Home Mortgage…
A late afternoon shot. I like the composition and shadows.
