Leisurely Walk

It has been an extra hot summer. Even a short stroll will bring out the sweat.

Bank Of Montreal Heritage Property

The Bank of Montreal is located on the corner of Charlotte and Dorchester Streets, in downtown Sydney, on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. The bank was completed in 1901, constructed as a direct result of the industrial economic boom that occurred in Sydney at the turn of the twentieth century. Large steel plants located in Sydney, fed by nearby coal mines, made Sydney a hub of commercial and industrial activity, as reflected in the establishment of the Bank of Montreal in town’s commercial core.

Car Art

From an antique car lover’s viewpoint pure blasphemy.
__

Albert Broussard the owner has been asked many time "Why would you do this?"
__

His reply would be "it’s been an antique since I was a kid and I wanted something different".

If you are thinking that looks like a Volkswagen Beetle trunk lid you are absolutely right. Doing something like this to you car is not for everyone. Albert Broussard has the gift of gab and enjoys letting people examine his Caddy.

Swinging Egg Chair

Made for the outdoors they claim you will sit in luxurious comfort. This one has a touch of peacock built in.

Monday Night

On the City Of Dartmouth's side of Halifax Harbour... ferries moored for the night. I am linking to Tuesdays Photo Challenge.

St. Paul's Church

Built in 1750, it is a local landmark and is the oldest Anglican Church in North America and the oldest building in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Wonder why I am the only one in the church? There is a rumour circulating that if I enter a church the roof will collapse. So when people see me enter they clear out. I am linking to InSPIREd Sunday.

Nomophobia

Technology is an essential part of our lives today. Have we become too dependent?

Located in a narrow lane way the mural was too big to capture in one photograph.
So I picked what I thought to be  the most interesting part.

Scrounger

The lady was gather up anything that she could return and get cash back. After a brief conversation I asked her if I could take her picture. She quickly went into this pose for me. I was surprised at how eager she was.

At San Paulo Fashion you often hear this store before you see it as they have club beats on the loud speaker.

Lady In Red

Colour

Today I am just playing around with the colours.

Louisbourg LightHouse

The original lighthouse was erected in 1734 by the French. It was the first lighthouse in Canada and the second in North America. The lighthouse standing today and pictured here was build in 1923. It is a popular lookoff point and in 2008 became the start of a coastal walking trail. Interpretive plaques mark the ruins of the previous lighthouses.

Monday Night

A freight train was passing on the far side and the passenger train had come to a dead stop. I am standing close to the road so I got lots of light in the foreground from a streetlight.  

Into The Darkness

Everyone that lives in a city should have the opportunity to get away from the city lights and see the real universe. 

Daybreak

This scene is all about the sky.

Tanks A Lot

The tank is thought to be the only one of its kind to survive the North-West Europe Campaign from D-Day to VE Day. It currently sits as a memorial tribute at Victoria Park in London, Ontario.

Pink Motel

Located in Pleasant Bay, Cape Breton Island it is better known as the Mid Trail Motel & Restaurant. 

Moored Boats

As the sun goes down the boats are secure for the night.

Blue On Blue

I am a fan of B&W... Blue & White. The flag of The Province Quebec is often called the "fleur-de-lis". The white cross originates from ancient royal flags of France. Contrary to popular belief, the fleurs-de-lis are not taken from the banners of French kings, who used golden fleurs-de-lis. The white fleurs-de-lis, on Quebec's flag, are symbols of purity; which originally represented the Virgin Mary. Thanks to the "World Flags" for the info.
