#nocturnehalifax

As a girl who was born and raised in Cape Breton, I am no stranger to beautiful scenery. Upon moving to the big city of Halifax I feared my exposure to sunset views and breathtaking scenery would be limited, fortunately I was very wrong. 

Not only do I wake up every morning with a 5th floor view of the Bedford Basin, often filled with sailboats, submarines and Navy Ships I am only a hop, skip and a jump from Downtown Halifax. 

I can reassure you that your Nova Scotia excursion is not complete until you've experienced the Harbour Hopper, Pier 21 Farmer's Market, Observed Nocturne in October, ordered appetizers at any of the local pubs, and walked the waterfront, taking in all of the local shops and markets. 

 *A side note on the Waterfront, I recently climbed the giant concrete wave  located dead center of the boardwalk, while sliding down i managed to break my big toe and tear the muscles in my foot. I THEN saw the sign that says, "Please do not climb."*

Although Downtown Halifax is a tourist attraction year-round nothing spells beauty quite like Halifax in October. The cold-crisp air, leaves changing from green to florescent reds, yellows and oranges, with the sun setting just upon 7 pm. I could spend all of my evenings admiring Theodore Tugboat, drinking Starbucks and taking advantage of everything I am blessed with as a Nova Scotian. 

This evening, I took a drive a downtown with a close friend and PR classmate to take pictures for her photography assignment. We were fortunate to catch a few cool shots before the sun went down, attached in this blog are a few that she did a great job with! 

That's one of the BEST parts of the Public Relations program, taking classes that are not only relevant to my career path, but also so much fun! Audio-Visual is proving to be one of those courses. Not going to lie, I am almost positive I like being in the pictures WAY more than taking them. 

So whether you live in Halifax, are visiting or plan on visiting I highly recommend you spend a whole, fall or summer day in the Downtown area. I highly suggest, Durty Nelly's or The Old Triangle for a good east coast meal. 

Thanks for reading, I appreciate the support xo.
