Halifax: abundant textures

We have several photographers from Halifax who exhibit beautiful textures and both brilliant and subdued colors. The simplicity of the context is extraordinarily captivating. The natural and man-made textures are captured expertly, and there is nothing more intriguing than that.


Because of its rich history, Halifax has bountiful texture all seeding from old naval yards natural formations on the coast. This texture is what caught our eye - peeling paint, rusty bolts and smooth ocean rocks. They make extraordinary modern wall art.


Halifax is known for its beautiful harbors. In 1749 Governor Edward Cornwallis and 2500 settlers created Canada's first town on the picturesque shores of the world's second largest harbor. Its geographical location on the Atlantic made it an entry point of immigration into Canada and Halifax later became the primary North Atlantic base for the Royal Navy.
