Trying to figure out what the big green bridge is ... Google maps shows
two bridges between Halifax and Dartmouth, the Angus L. MacDonald and
the A. Murray MacKay. (Strange all these Highland sounding names in
a province called "New Scotland".) Anyway, the background shows
a city-like shoreline on the other side of the water, so I'm guessing
you were actually in Dartmouth looking towards Halifax.
Well the terrain around the McKay bridge doesn't look like your pix,
so I'm guessing you were north of the MacDonald bridge in Dartmouth
just off Windmill Road, and there are railway tracks between you and
the inlet.
Sean Q - coffee's fresh and the bar's open, whatever your preference.

Speaking of which, I'm on Eastlink at home, who gets their news groups from
Telus, who have now stopped providing binary newsgroups, so I can only see
a.b.p.m.h from work. Bastards.

Funny how that is, eh? <g>

Nice work, indeed I was.

Yep, off of Windmill towards the water is Lyle St, which runs right beside,
and almost under, the bridge and off of Lyle St is a lot that our company is
using to store stuff for a job we're on, including some site trailers that
you can see in this picture by their with white tops:

In one of the pictures, the one from the back, you can see the building
that's west of the trailers in that above picture, and if you move the map
to the west some more you will see 4 submarines tied together at the dock.
Just a side note.
In any event, you nailed exactly where I was, kinda scary. <g>
