better left unsaid

A walk across the Com­mon usu­ally brings some­thing inter­est­ing, espe­cially on the week­end. There’s always peo­ple play­ing base­ball, foot­ball, frisbee/ultimate, and on this day, cricket. I hadn’t seen a game of cricket live in Hal­i­fax so I thought I’d stop and take in the action. There was a pretty enthu­si­as­tic bunch play­ing, and they were actu­ally pretty good. Got to see a few wick­ets go fly­ing. While I was there the clouds were mak­ing inter­est­ing pat­terns across the sky, so me not being a sports pho­tog­ra­pher I decided to point my cam­era at the sky and get a sil­hou­ette of the build­ings against the very sunny sky.
