This street and buildings are on the waterfront of Halifax harbour, with the newly renovated Farmer's Market building on the left with the lights.
Pier 21, the location for all of these buildings on the right, was the place where many war brides and other Canadian immigrants first set foot in their new country, after their boat trip from Europe. There is a small museum, I believe, in the building behind us, with (on the street in front) a train carriage, typical of those used to carry these people on the last leg of their long journey, to their new homes across the country.

Very nice!
Beautifully captured scene!
Thanks very much, +Janet Patterson – I like how you see this too!
I'm the same way with my phone. No quickie shots with that. 🙂
Good thing you had your camera with you +Ellie Kennard to capture this scene with the various lights and lighting. I love all the different versions that brighten or wash or colour the scene. Good eye.
+BiIl Zinck – thanks a lot!
In fact I have been through that museum, but many years ago and it was fascinating. I wasn't sure if it was still there as I am not in the city often. The ships are … as you say…. HUUUUUUGE And lots of tourists. But they never make it out to us. 🙁
Thanks +Steven Kennard 😀
Thank you very much +Patti Colston
+Giselle Savoie – I should also have mentioned the new NSCAD University building on the right, but then that is not important to get the feel of the evening.
Gorgeous shot, love the history! 🙂
very well done! awesome hamdheld 🙂 Beautifully shot
Beautiful photograph +Ellie Kennard
Thank you sir M! I'm glad you like it. 😀 +Martin Matejic
Great street shot ma'am, me likey! 🙂 And kudos for the non tripod snap! 🙂
Thanks +Mary Wardell – I usually do have my camera with me, and as you say, it has to be ready to go the fastest! (I would never succeed with my phone, I'm too clumsy with it and it would take too long to work it out!)
I'm glad you got the shot – as I read so often, the best camera is the one you've got with you. And my corollary is the best camera is the one that is ready to go the fastest. Looks great.
