HALIFAX TALL SHIPS PANORAMIC

Legions of Tall Ships sailed into Halifax Harbour in mid-July of 2009. With extensive renovations completed (or nearly completed) along the Halifax waterfront, the Tall Ships 2009 Festival attracted tourists from across the province, across the country, and indeed from around the globe. In this panoramic photo shot from the roof of a parking garage on Hollis Street in the downtown core, one Marriott hotel and one Canadian government office building dominate the foreground while beautiful blue sky rests above the sailboat-infested harbour.
