Canada: A rather unusual set of benches here but helping to make a picture, for sure. I think the dark sky combine well with the light wood of the benches and all being lifted up by the reds and blues in the posters. HBM, enjoy the week.

Halifax, Nova Scotia: Outside the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 The life size bronze sculpture shows a smiling Ruth Goldbloom seated on a bench, surrounded by immigrants'suitcases, with her beloved tap shoes sitting at her feet. The sculpture, created by Newfoundland artist Morgan MacDonald, is located near the entrance to the museum. Visitors will be invited to sit beside Ruth, whose legacy was that she talked to anyone and everyone who entered the museum that she created to honour the 1.5 million immigrants who entered Canada through the Port of Halifax’s Pier 21 from 1928 to 1971. HBM, enjoy the week.

Halifax, Nova Scotia is the location of the Georges Island and its lighthouse. Located in the harbour area of Halifax itself. It was built in 1917 replacing the earlier 1876 tower. It is 16 m high Originally called île à la Raquette, the Island was renamed in 1749 to George Island after King George II and then Georges Island in 1963. It is the home of Fort Charlotte, named after King George’s wife and build circa 1750. It has quite a history having housed 2000 French soldiers who were imprisoned during the Seven Years War. It also housed Acadian prisoners a little later. Enjoy full screen

Seen whilst walking through this wonderful city, from the Citadel along Sackville St. Sorry, as much as I have tried, I cannot find anything at all about this. There seems to be a lot of murals here in the city and so this might be considered of little importance? HWW, have a great day.

We are in Halifax, Nova Scotia looking out towards Georges Lighthouse on Georges Island.
