Black & White Photos from my Travels

#Black_White_Photos
Touring the Inside of Georges Island  located in Halifax Harbour  (Canada) 
 It has served many purposes from a prison, a fort protecting the city, anchored submarine nets during the World War etc.
 Now open for tours from June to October

 

I am near Siberia Russia & not allowed to say why i was in this area 😎

Was staying on a Hobby Farm ( 60,000 of them) in the Australian Outback.
 The farms are required to be between 50-100 acres to qualify & once there as a paying guest you will launch yourself into the local culture plus perhaps working the farm
My fondest memory of my stay was how the night sky was so black with no light pollution from any manmade artificial illumination in the Outback 

Looking Up in London England 
Notice the gargoyle (which a more fun reason was) that it was placed there with the power to ward off evil spirits
A simpler answer is,  it acts like a spout to carry water away from the wall

Walking one of the 4500 narrow streets of Barcelona Spain 

Stockholm Sweden & i photo of a street light you ask 😂
Well some history, in 1749 the government asked property owners to keep their lanterns lit during the dark months from dusk to midnight

There are over 100 districts in Marseille France but still a walkable city as i found out

Loved the workmanship of this Restaurant Sign in Stockholm Sweden

Trinity Church in Boston Massachusetts has been designated as one of ten most important buildings in America & was completed in 1877 
Tours are available 

York Redoubt was built in 1793 & was part of the Halifax (Canada) Defence Complex to protect the entrance of the harbor for over three hundred years 

In the theme of B&W Photos.....one of my charcoal drawings of a random church 

Getting ready to ride on one of 150 canals running through Venice Italy
Interesting fact; back during the founding of Venice in the 5th Century it was a large lagoon with several small marshy islands separated by natural canals, so these natural canals were made more wider & deeper ( 3 to 4 meters 10-15 feet) during the expansion of the city

Walking the Magnificent Mile (13 city blocks of  450+ high end stores) in Chicago & came across this piece of fashion 😀

As i walk the streets of Toledo Spain & no that is not photoshopped
