I was walking around the other day taking pictures for an assignment so I decided to make a thread with all my pics. Hope you guys enjoy.
Ralph M. Medjuck Architecture Building. This is where I have some of my classes and hopefully all of them once I get into the Architecture program.

A view of the Basillica and the Aliant Building, also known as the "Waffle Iron"

View down Barrington St.

The relatively new MetroPark that was built to replace the old dilapitated TexPark.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v602/jonovision/59844349.jpg
The old TexPark site where we will hopefully see two new 27 storey towers rise within the next year or two.

A view up Hollis st. looking towards the bank buildings.

The courtyard between the two buildings that house the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia.

The stairs leading off the courtyard heading towards the waterfront.

The clock on the waterfront next to the halifax ferry terminal.

The ramp leading down onto the ferry to Dartmouth. I would have taken some pictures from the top of the ferry but it was really cold that day.

The stairs leading up from the Dartmouth ferry terminal to Alderney Dr.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v602/jonovision/5363babf.jpg
Looking up Portland st. You can notice the new sidewalk improvements they just did this fall.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v602/jonovision/edd7e956.jpg
A view further up Portland st. where they have yet to do any sidewalk improvements.
The new Canal Bridge condos in the background and an old ugly building being torn down in the foreground.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v602/jonovision/b80815c3.jpg
Some work being done on an appartment building in downtown Dartmouth.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v602/jonovision/6c3e9442.jpg
Another view of the appartment building and the demolition.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v602/jonovision/ce19a2f2.jpg
This is looking up Prince Albert rd from Portland st. at the new condos on the star manufacturing lands. There will hopefully be a new park on the rest of the site where they might even open up a portion of the Shubie Canal.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v602/jonovision/e7770f33.jpg
The new Canal Bridge condos on the left and phase 2 still u/c on the right. I believe its called portland corners.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v602/jonovision/1efb7b4d.jpg
A view of the new crane put up for the Dartmouth Sewage Treatment plant.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v602/jonovision/f85f8381.jpg
And no trip in Canada would be complete without passing at least one Tim Hortons.

A view up Portland st. close to my house.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v602/jonovision/WalkHome028.jpg
Looking up the hill that is MacKay st. I have to walk up and down it at least once every day.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v602/jonovision/WalkHome030.jpg
Stoney Hurst Manor, a really nice old mansion on Summit st. that has been converted into appartments. It really needs a lot of work but if the time and money was put into it it would be really nice.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v602/jonovision/WalkHome031.jpg
MY house on Summit st. Note whats left of our christmas tree on the side of the road.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v602/jonovision/WalkHome034.jpg
The next few are of the view from my front porch.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v602/jonovision/WalkHome035.jpg
If you look really closely on the horizon above the royal bank building you can see the new crane for Gladstone Ridge.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v602/jonovision/WalkHome036.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v602/jonovision/WalkHome037.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v602/jonovision/WalkHome038.jpg
Those were all from my walk home and I decided to take some more on my walk to school the next day. So here's some more.
A view of the crane for the Dartmouth Sewage treatment plant and the new access road.

The Environment Canada building on Lower Water st.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v602/jonovision/WalkHome044.jpg

Hamachi House Sushi on Morris st.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v602/jonovision/WalkHome053.jpg
