FROM HERE TO THERE...

Since I had a later flight back to Toronto tonight, I took the opportunity to go to the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia. Uncle Tak's retrospective exhibit is there until August 27th.

By the time I got to the gallery, there was only about 45 minutes before closing time. As I was pulling my $10 out, the girl behind the counter told me I had 45 minutes and asked if there was anything in particular I wanted to see. I told her I was going to see my uncle, as I pointed to the brochure and she told me not to worry about it.

If your going to be in the Halifax area this summer, check it out, you can try saying he's your uncle. The gallery is on 1723 Hollis St., Halifax, NS. Here is a closeup of the banner outside.

The gallery is down near the Halifax Harbour. I had the chance to walk around after visiting the gallery. It has been close to 30 years since we visited Halifax when I was a kid.

There were lots of fishing vessels in port

That bump coming out of the ground is suppose to be a "wave". Here is a closer look.

Here are a few pictures of the sights of the harbour through my eyes.

Across the harbour is Dartmouth, there is an Environment Canada building over there.

One of the bridges that connect Halifax to Dartmouth. I think it is the MacDonald bridge.

One of the many tour boats available is Theodore the Tugboat.

I am able to post todays blog entries from the Halifax airport, they currently have free wireless access, but I'm sure the next time I'm through it will cost to use it. My flight back to Toronto has been delayed almost an hour.

I'm down in Kejimkujik National Park in Nova Scotia this week for a few days. The black flies and ticks are plentiful. The black flies feasted on my head until I got my bug jacket on. I saw this guy early on and he sat in the same spot almost the whole day.

In case you didn't know what a tick looks like, here is one on my leg.

Just after I left the park I saw this guy on the side of the road, he was pretty big.

It was slow going coming back into Bridgewater, I was stuck behind this truck and the road is winding with few places to pass.
