2.

3.

-Harlington- · #24 Posted **Jun 6, 2011, 2:04 AM**

number one is shannon park

dont know two, some lake, lol

and ill take a wild guess at three and say dover

Jonovision · #25 Posted **Jun 6, 2011, 2:18 PM**

The first is Shannon Park (went to school there)

Don't know the second one. But I would guess a lake out behind bedford west.

The third is Duncans Cove. The best hiking trail that I know of within an hour of the city.

Wishblade · #26 Posted **Jun 6, 2011, 2:51 PM**

I almost guessed Windsor Park on the first one. They look very similar.

halifaxboyns · #27 Posted **Jun 6, 2011, 4:39 PM**

#2 is either Chain Lake or part of the Long Lake Park. The towers...I remember them.
#3 I'd guess as Shad Bay or down the Southern Shore of HRM.

spaustin · #28 Posted **Jun 7, 2011, 12:31 AM**

1. Is indeed Shannon Park.
2. Is probably the hardest. It's actually on the Eastern Shore and is a somewhat popular hiking area. This is one of the best views on the trail. Sorry Halifaxboy, the lake must have a doppleganger on the other side.
3. You guys are all in the right ballpark, it's along HRM's Southern Shore, but it's not Dover or Shad Bay. Little closer to town and is the start point for a well-known hike.

-Harlington- · #29 Posted **Jun 7, 2011, 2:24 AM**

would 3 be terrance bay ?

spaustin · #30 Posted **Jun 12, 2011, 12:54 AM**

Nope. Since interest has died out, I'll give out the answers. #3 is Duncans Cove and #2 is Bayer Lake, as seen from the "Jesse's Diner" lookoff on the Admiral's Lake Loop Trail in Musquodoboit Harbour.

True. Missed his reply. Just #2 that went unsolved.

Jonovision · #33 Posted **Jun 12, 2011, 2:05 PM**

I love duncans cove! Hiked it so many times. Last year somehow I even managed to get 20 people together to do it. It was epic.

Haha...now THIS is a great idea for a thread! I'm just finding this now so I hope it's ok "reopen" and start posting again. Here's 8 images all from around town of the sides of buildings. If you know the building name, number, street, or area, consider it correct. I'm not going to keep score or anything like in the past but I thought this was such a great idea I had to throw in just for fun!

1: Purdy's Wharf
2: Morris Street, east of Barrington
3: The VIC
4: 1H (NSP HQ)
5: Old Tower Rd School?
6: The stairwell between the old NFB building and the Neptune/Ford School/Whatever it's called
7: Historic Properties
8: York Redoubt or Point Pleasant Park

K-Man · #37 Posted **Nov 9, 2019, 12:43 AM**

Here's yesterday's answers folks:

BUILDINGS
1: Purdy's Wharf - Tower 1
2: 5133 Morris St.
3: The VIC
4: 1H - NSP - Lower Water St. office
5: Atlantic School of Theology
**If you're interested in seeing the interior of the school you can see a few shots here: https://halifaxbloggers.ca/noticedin...l-of-theology/
6: Foundation of the Kyber
7: Privateer's Warehouse/Lower Deck
8: Fort Ogilvie - Underground Shelter - https://hmhps.ca/sites/fort-ogilvie-...-park#images-9

I have a question though....
Is that the original rock foundation of the Kyber/Church of England? I don't know much about older construction methods so it's amazing to me that for one, that type of foundation is holding up a building of that size and two, that it hasn't shifted and settled more over the years. I've seen that kind of foundation used on older houses but to support a building of that weight/size for so long?...that's pretty crazy.

HALIFAX WINDOWS

I thought a "Halifax Windows" theme might be fun to take a stab at. Here's 14 images of windows from HRM. It'll be pretty impressive if someone knows where Window 14 is!
