Tall Ships 2009

[hjea]

Summer is festival time in Halifax--we've already been through the Jazz Festival, and the Busker's Festival is coming next month. But the best known and largest-crowd-drawing was this week: the Nova Scotia Tall Ships Festival. And working down at the waterfront, I've had some of the best vantage points.







Anyone who spots The Bluenose gets, uh... bragging rights. ;DDD

DUUUUUUUDE. The fact that you have a Busker Festival AND a Tall Ships Festival CLEARLY makes the place where you live THE BEST PLACE EVER. :DDDDDDDDDDDD!

Absolutely gorgeous pics. Although I have no idea what The Bluenose looks like. :(

OH! And there's a ship with the Brazilian flag! HOW KEEN!

I DO live in the best place! But only until the end of August, then I am Toronto-bound. :(((((((((

The Bluenose is the sharp little schooner with her sails up. It's on the Canadian dime, hence the notoriety.

And yep! There were Brazilian ships, and Portuguese, and Dutch, and British, and Russian, and a whole load of others, and most of them were peopled by young men in uniforms. It was a international smörgåsbord of hot. ;DDDDDDD

Ooohhh ahhhhhhhhhh. Those are very pretty, pretty. I would not have guessed that Halifax could be that cool. :D

Hee, we're totally cool! In our own Maritimey way. And usually those ways involve boats. Or fiddles. Preferably both.

Lovely! I love the fireworks pic!

Also, I'm sure I could spot the Bluenose if I got out a dime or my old albums from when I went out east. I've been on the Bluenose once before.

Thanks! The fireworks were awesome, and they had a show every night! Like Canada Day four days running!

And ooh, where were you on the Bluenose? Halifax? Lunenburg? Somewhere else entirely?

Oh my, so pretty! It's all waterfronty and oceansidey and bigshippy. Oh to be a tourist right about now!


Ooh ooh! Was The Black Pearl there?!?! And what's The Bluenose? (And look at how optimised your images are! EEEEEE)

It was so pretty! Although I was getting pretty jealous because everyone had these beautiful cameras and I only have a dinky little point and click that barely has a zoom, but really I shouldn't complain because it serves me well but still, Canons... *sighs*

I did not see The Pearl, although I did see more than my fair share of Jack Sparrows. And The Bluenose is the boat on our dime. Famous Canadian schooner. ;)

(And look at how optimised your images are! EEEEEE)

Just for you, BB. ;DDD

The boats are very pretty.

Also, seen Dollhouse yet? *pokes*

[hjea.livejournal.com]

I can feel your admiration all the way from here. ;)

And yes, I have indeed seen it. :DDD

Then be online and talk to me about it! I really want to discuss it with people and none of my friends here watch it!
