Photo Request

[SignalHillHiker]

Guys, what's your favourite picture of Halifax's skyline?

I'm making a photo thread for a trip I just returned from:

St. John's - Halifax - Boston - Montreal - St. John's.

It's my first primarily American photo thread so, while the focus is Boston, I definitely want to advertise our Canadian cities I visited in it a little bit. Three or four pics from each.

I have two decent pictures of Nova Scotia but they're so far away.

I have great shots of Boston, and a cool video of landing in Montreal at night (couldn't get a clear pic, too dark). I'm just going to use a couple of my past pictures of St. John's to illustrate where I left from.

And I don't want to leave Halifax with just these two pictures I have (one is of cool clouds with beautiful but rural area below, the other is of Halifax's skyline but it's VERY distant. So I want to put a note in my photo thread that says something like:

"And, since my flight didn't pass close enough to do the city justice, this is what Halifax looks like when you're a little closer. Photo by X:"

Do you have a favourite? I just want to make sure that any Americans who happen upon this thread because it's Boston get to see us as well.

I'm actually very interested in seeing the similarities and differences in styles between Halifax and Boston since people often make the
connection that Halifax "is kind of like Boston"... I imagine Halifax is kind of halfway between the style of Boston and the
style of St. John's, in terms of architecture, street layout, building scale, and use of colour/materials.

Great pics! Boston is a wonderful city. Exceptionally clean streets for a large American city. I love the mix of retail in old and new buildings in the downtown too. We could learn a thing or too.
