A-Z Challenge 2025

H is for Halifax


One of Canada's oldest cities, Halifax is a fascinating place and I'd love to get back to it and explore it in detail. 
Rich with history and filled with fascinating buildings and locations, the short visit I had there last April just filled me with more desire to make it back, to take more photos and experience it in detail.  A lovely city!

    I vaguely remember visiting Halifax (specifially the Citadel and gardens) in 6th or 7th grade. My paternal grandmother was born in Nova Scotia and we visited our family there.

      It was my first trip there and I loved it. I was there for my niece's wedding and I wish I'd had more time to explore the city. I love the narrow streets, the old buildings and the overall atmosphere. An amazing place and I want to go again!!!

      People were asking if I was disappointed to be shooting in the fog and my reply was along the lines of "Are you kidding me! It's perfect!" I LOVE shooting in fog!!!

    You created a very moody picture if the downtown and just love the romantic look of the small creek.

    Such atmospheric photos! Halifax is on my hope-to-visit list, and you've bumped it closer to the top.

  Some of you may have noticed that I have not been keeping up with the daily posts for the A-Z challenge.  It's time to reveal the reason:  I lost my sister-in-law nearly two-weeks ago.   In Memoriam of Janette Gaboury I managed to make some posts afterwards, but supporting my grieving brother and family take priority, as well it should.   I will try to make some more entries, but I am not at home very often right now and between work and running out to my brother's place, I don't know how much time I will have.  Thank  you all for understanding.  Jeff Gaboury

Alley in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada The lights in this alleyway, really liven up this little alley!  Walking and photographing at night is always such a different experience from taking images during the day.  Black and white really suits street photography.

  A-Z Challenge 2025  O is for Oriole I was very excited to get this shot.  Capturing the bird at a perfect moment, just before it lands, through all of the branches and foliage, this shot was extremely challenging.  Of course, many photographers would complain about all of the distracting branches and some of them would point out the powerful new AI tools that could remove the branches in front of the bird.  But I'm on the fence about such technologies.  This photo's imperfections are a part of what makes it "perfect" for me.  The beauty of the bird and the moment, captured under difficult auto-focusing conditions is part of what makes this image so very special to me.  I have other, clear photos of Baltimore orioles that where the bird is unobstructed and clear and there were fewer challenges for me, or for the camera.  But this one still stands as my favouriite oriole photo and I'm not sure it will ever be surpassed.
