HALIFAX TALL SHIPS FESTIVAL 2009

2000, 2004, 2007, and now 2009 have presented tourists with an unbelievable awesome option in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The Tall Ships Festival steps directly from centuries-gone-by into the much narrower Halifax Harbour. Ships of varying sizes crowd the Halifax side of the waterfront before a parade-of-sail takes place on the final day as the ships circle past Dartmouth and out to the mouth of the harbour. This picture was taken from the old helipad near Bishop's Landing looking toward the Nova Scotia Power building and Pier 21.
