Lunenburg

Well those who follow me on FB would have seen these pictures over a week ago, I've been a bit slow getting them  up on the blog.   We took a run down to Lunenburg while we were in NS.  As per normal it didn't disappoint, a very pretty town.   Lunenburg is all about colour.  Everything was shot with the Fuji X-T1, XF-14mm lens and colours are velvia.

A pano of the "Bluenose II".  It was the only way to gt the entire ship in the picture.   Unfortunately the stitching didn't work to well on the rigging but the rest of the ship came out ok.   Beautiful job rebuilding but still delayed in getting it sea worthy.



Drew, Erin's friend who came on the trip.  She was a pleasure to have along.

Probably a relation but didn't stop by to find out :-)

Halifax Waterfront and Historic Properties

Another day in Nova Scotia.  Decided to take a run down to the waterfront and historic properties.  Mostly just walked around.  A bit disappointed to find that many of the original buildings down there have been flattened and replaced with office towers and other crap that doesn't really belong down there.  Used to love all the quaint shops and pubs.

Lighting was harsh but managed to get some pics;
