Halifax: Unlikely Beauty

My husband and I were in Halifax recently to visit good friends and our niece. The above building on Blowers Street has fallen into disrepair. When we lived in the city it housed an eatery called Big Life that served delicious vegan, wheat-free chocolate chip oatcakes. Big Life relocated to the Brewery Market where they still sell oatcakes and other goodies.

Have you ever tried to take a picture close to the ground on a steeply sloped sidewalk? Tricky. One day I'd like to learn how to identify weeds.
