What a different world here.
Just a good 1 1/2 hours walk from my place near the Dalhousie University downtown Halifax i came into this Jollymore called suburb of greater Halifax near (or actually surrounded by) a park of full green nature, more or less wilderness in the city, with small lakes, ducks and the like.
The enchanted forest as they call it (but then again, Halifaxians have a faible for fantasy names) really is a typical Pisces town retreat, dead appearing yet in full bloom, houses in wide lush gardens under age old trees of all sorts, only that the houses are old, only that the entire forest feels and looks like time stands still - but not evolution and the impact weather and other environmental effects have on houses.

Houses inside a urban jungle of green trees and bushes are dark inside yet, because of minimal road traffic it is peaceful and contemplative - yet, being to contemplative means leaving the daily realities behind

All that jazz is not played on instruments on this volcanic island, no need, there are so many birds singing from dusk to dawn (or vice versa) and then, of course, the colors, the colors, and the compositions of this freely and only partially cared for or controlled vegetation in endless varieties, from needle trees to big fat old palms, from delicate wild roses to cactus of all sorts, one could almost think this must be heaven here - but it ain't, of course, nature has it's own rules, and living a bit to natural (they call it rural here) does not do much for longevity and great health on a windy island, the houses built here may look romantic to some, but the windows are badly sealed against high winds, the doors are mostly not sealed against much at all, and, of course, as one could expect on an island that lies off the African Coast but belongs to a European nation that is some 3 airplane hours away there are endless items people here never get that are part of the daily basics for mainland commoners anywhere in the world.
It's a bit like living somewhere in Siberia, just without any risk of a big freeze.

But i want to mainly present photographic impressions here, and i sure choose the nicest images i can make, see for yourself at my new photo album from La Palma
