GRASS & AN ACADIAN CROSS

Look closely. Beneath the lamp post. Spot the cross? That cross springs out of a monument to Acadians who were imprisoned on Georges Island in previous centuries. In the Great Expulsion which began in 1755, the French-speaking Acadians were expelled from what's now Nova Scotia. Of course, that describes the background. Closer to the lens was this lovely beach grass that grows between a large parking lot and the boardwalk of the Halifax waterfront.
