Really nice set!

Love the last one.

Also Telus Sky has grown on me. Love how it and Vancouver House play off each other.

New container terminal crane being delivered in Halifax. These ships always look pretty crazy; they travel around the world like this. The other cranes are going to Algeria and France. Container ships keep growing so the cranes need to be upgraded too.

Those early 20th century houses in the bottom right show how extensive the older parts of Halifax are, at least for a smaller city. The farthest commercial area with storefronts is about 5 km from downtown (Dutch Village Road). Lady Hammond Road even has some old brick storefront buildings.

The Robie Street reservoir, a landmark in the area, was built in 1913 (Built Halifax has a great article about it). Much older than I thought but when you look closely at the details in the concrete it looks like it's from that era.

At one point the pre-war housing would have stretched to roughly where the container pier is now but parts of this area (Richmond) were pretty much 100% wiped out by the explosion and others (Africville) by heavy-handed urban renewal schemes in the 60s. The area around NSIT seems to have been known as "Rockhead" at one point but most of the old buildings are long gone.
