And this is what I saw.
 |
| An incomplete (?) installation in front of the Architecture Building of Dalhousie University. |
 |
| The new public library is an intriguing structure, made up of three sections, each canted in a different direction. |
 |
| I was fascinated by those fellows who were pouring and smoothing cement in the enormous construction site next door. |
 |
| Up to their knees in wet cement. |
 |
| Isn't that the coolest thing ? That fella rides around on that device smoothing out the concrete. What fun ! |
 |
| Wouldn't want to step out that back door in the dark. |
Old or new: in which would you prefer to live ?
Though we treasure our older beautiful buildings, we don't always take care of them as we should.
I much prefer THIS,
to THIS.
I wonder why some houses were built with entrances below street level ?
Time for me to head home and take the dogs out for a run.
Thanks for coming along. I hope you enjoyed our walk together. Let's do this again some time.
I prefer the old buildings too. It's been awhile since I've been to Halifax but I had heard about construction of the new library. Thanks for the update :)
ReplyDeleteI think Halifax is such a beautiful city. So much to see and a wonderful sense of history ...
DeleteThank you for sharing this, Sybil. I would enjoy visiting this fine town some day.
ReplyDeleteand if you do, you and Barry have a place to stay ...
DeleteAwww, that's the sweetest! :)
DeleteI definitely prefer old nowadays - getting tired of our condo built in the 70s... I must get my eyes checked, I first read Dalhousie University as Dollhouse University, and was very puzzled by the picture. :) Construction sites are fascinating - it's a marvel how it all comes together one day.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't that be a fun university to attend? Doll House University. Wonder what courses we could take there ? and if we'd need to be VERY SMALL to get in ?
