It was foggy and overcast as the ms Maasdam pulled into the harbor. The Citadel is in the background, and once protected the city. |
The city had lots of artwork displayed along the harbor walk. Note the interesting light posts. |
Here's the rocky coast of Peggy's Cove. Glaciers about 10,000 years ago created this landscape of granite. |
Bagpipe players were everywhere. I'm glad that I can tolerate bagpipe music... many folks hate the sound. |
Peggy's Cover is so picturesque. |
Lobster is caught and shipped to other portions of the world. I learned how to put a lobster to sleep with a back rub. |
The lighthouse at Peggy's Cover is one of the most photographed in Canada. |
I had a light lunch of seafood chowder for lunch at Murphy's on the harbor walk. |
The group visited the cemetery with 150 from the Titanic. They only buried staff and first class passengers. Others were weighted down and buried at sea. |
It hard to tell in this photo, but the Titanic graves are in the shape of the bow of a ship. |
Halifax has one of the few remaining Victorian Public Gardens in Canada. It was so beautiful in the warm sunshine. |
These are a few of the flowers that are well tended by the gardeners. |
There's a ceremonial changing of the guard each hour at the Citadel in the center of the city. |
This is a bed used by the soldiers in the fortress. It folds out, but it's a good thing folks weren't as tall back then. |
This is a view from the top of the Citadel looking down to the harbor. |
