In my continuing boycott of the dreary, dismal weather of this late fall season I present this photo instead. Originally shot back in July of this year. As you can see nothing dismal or dreary to be seen here.

This is the gazebo located in the Halifax Public Gardens and a bit of its surrounding flower gardens and greenery. I'm told the gazebo also doubles as a bandstand, so maybe later if you are all well behaved I'll shatter some eardrums and croak out a few tunes. Anybody play the electric spoons by chance? There are benches galore in the back should you be inclined to want a seat. So no need to crowd onto the one in the foreground. Besides, for some silly reason it's facing the wrong way. There's really not much of a view looking this way, unless you like looking at trees and random strangers snapping pictures. A rather rude statue is turning its back to us. I think the pigeons were off mugging some small chap in a more secluded area of the gardens.

Now that brings us to the title of the photo. I tried to straighten the darn thing. But if I made the gazebo level and all pleasing to the eye it really threw everything else off kilter. The statue threatened to topple off its pedestal, maybe that's why it's being rude. The path became an uphill battle and people were falling off their benches. So I only twisted it a little bit towards levelity.

Hope you enjoy and your comments welcomed.
