so cool.thanks for sharing.my Dad left here when was about 16,went to Toronto cause if you stayed here,your future was going to be underground.he couldn't wait to get away but later in life,he couldn't wait to get back home.this is a Unesco World Heritage site now.there's rock hounds here all the time from all over the world studying 300 million year old fossils found on the beach and in the cliffs and the Joggin Fossil Center is built on the site of Old # 7 Coal Mine.pretty neat.the first commercial coal mine was started here in 1731.the Joggins Railway,all 12 miles of it went by the bottom of where we live now,back and forth from all the mines to the wharf to ship coal all over the place and to England.Sydney steel was started in Sydney,Nova Scotia in 1901 and there is a Museum of Industry in New Glasgow,Nova Scotia.very interesting.there was a Volvo plant in Halifax for years starting in the 60's and the first one produced is in that museum along with a 1900 something MacKay car,built in Amherst,Nova Scotia,apperantly the only one or one of very few,i just forget,to ever be found?all fascinating stuff if that's what turns you on.it does me.take care.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

I know what you mean.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

It's interesting how some things are there in plain sight and you don't notice. I had never put any thought into Nova Scotia until I read this. Now I am intrigued.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’

I never thought about the Appalachian Mountains being past Maine. Recently I was looking at a geological map and I realized a little bit of western Nova Scotia is part of the mountain range.

The British Colonies were as much, or more, about tapping natural resources as about establishing settlements.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

yes sir,it's all connected.i know my grandfather worked underground in the coal mines,sometimes right out under the ocean with water dripping on them all day.i can't imagine but he told me this whole area is the same coal that runs through Pennsylvannia,West Virginia.all connected.amazing stuff.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

I wish I could get in to take pictures. In a town west of here they have a spring that flows an amazing amount of water. It supplies the whole town as well as a couple others. The site is all sealed off since 9/11. My friend works for the town water works. That spring is from an aquifer under Canada!

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

it is amazing stuff.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

I stopped to get a picture of the Blazer in front of the Mayflower II. While I was there I ended up in a conversation with a couple of guys that were admiring my truck. One of them told me he was there in his Callaway Corvette. I showed him the picture I had taken a little while ago of it.

It can be interesting how small the world can seem sometimes.

old hydrant

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

that is an old timer for sure

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

-
I wonder how long it has been since it has been tested. Supposed to be tested yearly. I don't know if that is close to you or just a random picture, but I would be trimming the weeds from around it if it was close.... Even painted yellow or red they can be hard to see when you are in a hurry.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

I don't know about elsewhere, but here the cities have blue reflective markers planted in the middle (or sometimes the sides) of the streets, where the hydrants are. Given a large city, the firefighters can't be expected to go and memorize the locations like they used to.
