On a serious note... why in the world would the truck drive up citadel hill? That's terrible logistics coordination.

Photo op for the press release. Or they're delivering kilts.

Haha, I guess so... they might want to avoid taking that route at night...

Would making a joke about packages being picked up be too much?

Not the best day to do this, but you can see the three cranes in each of these pictures.

From MacDonald Bridge:

From Downtown Dartmouth:

From Waterfront Trail:

From Woodside Ferry Parking Lot:

Great pictures. The Citadel crane is impressively tall; hopefully we'll get another soon and then some nice buildings will follow.

Your angle for the first shot is very similar to an old photo from the NS archives:

That's what the HT wants Halifax to look like... doesn't it appear so inviting?

I can almost smell the coal smoke and raw sewage...

I think the Halifax night shots are stellar. Beautiful city.

It's interesting how a lot of that has changed. In the past waterfronts were not very desirable because of industry and sewage, but now in some cases they are prime residential land.

Some people's negative present-day perceptions of cities don't make a ton of sense today, but their provenance makes sense when you consider the way cities were in the past. These prejudices have been handed down from Victorian times.
