Where in Halifax?

Dmajackson · #1 Posted **May 29, 2011, 3:26 AM**

Given the enormous size of our municipality I thought a fun guessing game might lighten up the mood and re-energize our forumers.

The rules for the game are simple. 1) All photos must give credit to their owners; 2) All photos must relate to HRM (taken of or in the area); 3) Photos must avoid having obvious give-aways (ie place name/street signs); 4) Multiple guesses are allowed however only guess one at a time and allow another person to guess after each turn; 5) Posters of the photos can decide how exact the guess has to be to be deemed correct (ie park name, neighbourhood, town).

To kick off this game here are some of my photos;

Hey, there's a street sign in the first one! Corner of Science Park Drive and Angus Morton Drive in Bedford. No clue about the other two..

My guesses :

1. Bedford West

2. Burnside/bedford basin

3. Peggys Cove

number 3 is definitely Peggy's Cove

Agree with Alps on #1.
#3 agreed; peggy's cove.
#2 I would guess is the small park near the infill in Bedford. Come on, this is DJ - he likes Bedford

All were guessed correctly.

1 - West Bedford Business Park (HPR in background).
2 - Crosby Island in Bedford ('Save The Reef' area).
3 - Peggy's Cove.

So congrats to

Alps (1)
Harlington (1)
halifaxboyns (1) (exact location guess though this isnt a park. Its an island that was landlocked by the infill).

Time for someone else to take a stab at this. I know we have some hidden photogrpahers in this forum.

This looks like it might be the Dalhousie University Life Sciences building (but I haven't been in there in over 30 years).

5.

This looks like someplace along the Cabot Trail - I think this will be a tough one.

#4 looks like the SMU library.
#5 no sweet clue. Around Queensland maybe?
#6 walkway under the Northwest Arm Drive near Fairmount?

DigitalNinja · #10 Posted **May 30, 2011, 3:42 AM**

#4 is Dalhousie under the chem or biology lab.

alps · #11 Posted **May 30, 2011, 3:55 AM**

Guessed correctly:

#4 - Life Sciences Centre, Dalhousie
#6 - Head of Chain Lake under the Northwest Arm Drive

#5 is still up in the air! It's not the Cabot Trail -- it's in HRM. Very broad hint: according to Google Maps, it's a 24 minute drive from the Spring Garden library.

This might be Herring Cove around this location - map link

I'm going to guess around the head of the harbour so ... say Sambro Head (I think i can faintly see a lighthouse in the background).

Fenwick's close enough. It's just a liiittle to the northwest of where you linked to, labeled "Herring Cove Provincial Park Reserve".

I cheated on the last one - I looked at the Google Map (based on your clue of it being in Halifax). The internet is great for information!

By the way, the Herring Cove picture looks great.
