Higher Learning

Yesterday, after our park walk, we headed to the 'new' library in Halifax.
We had a book to return and as well wanted to just embrace the ambiance. 

I dropped Ron off in front and hoped to find a parking spot.

And after a few loops around the block, got one down the street from the Library.

One has a choice in this magnificent building.....

take the stairs or the elevator.

I chose the stairs.

So up the five flights I went....taking a few photos along the way.

On the top floor I looked out onto the city from all sides.

The above shot shows a corner lot that was just demolished

and getting ready for condo development.

In the late 60's and early 70's a friend of mine

 lived at this location on the top floor......lots of memories in that ruble heap.

From another window I checked on our car (and Sophie).

It is the third up on the right by the beige house.

All looked fine.....

Going down to the fourth floor....look who I found across from the stairs.

Ron was busy looking through a book for a particular sweater design 

he has been looking for.
