city bound 🚌💨

A white Prevost bus numbered 1027 is parked at a gas station.

The bus has a Nova Scotia license plate reading “NS P1093” and another yellow license plate showing “PR48500.”

In the background, there’s an Ultramar gas station with UltraMax branding and a price sign showing regular gas at $1.96 and diesel at $1.79, with “Car Wash” also advertised. 

The image has a vintage or filtered appearance with a washed-out, slightly overexposed look.

The bus appears to be a coach or transit vehicle, and there are some cars visible in the background of the gas station.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I suppose this is my sign to start prepping for autumn, my second favourite season 🍂

A top-down view of someone’s feet wearing white canvas sneakers and black pants, standing on dark asphalt pavement scattered with beautiful autumn leaves.

The fallen leaves display rich colors of gold, amber, rust, and brown, creating a natural carpet across the ground.

The leaves appear to be from various deciduous trees, with different shapes and sizes - some oval, some serrated-edged - all in various stages of their autumn transformation.

The contrast between the clean white shoes, dark clothing, and the warm-toned natural debris creates an artistic composition that captures the essence of fall.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​A peaceful autumn park scene featuring a curved paved walking path scattered with fallen leaves in shades of orange, red, and yellow.

Large mature trees with full canopies frame the scene, their branches creating natural archways overhead.

On the right side, a dark metal park bench sits on the grass under the shade of the trees, providing a quiet spot for rest and contemplation. 

The ground is a mix of green grass dotted with colorful fallen leaves, and the path winds gently through the landscape.

In the background, more trees and parkland are visible under an overcast sky, creating a serene, contemplative atmosphere typical of fall in a public park or green space.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

oh Dartmouth,, how I love thee

A scenic waterfront park view showing a large open grassy area with patches of golden-brown dormant grass mixed with green.

Several large gray boulders are scattered across the foreground of the field.

Mature trees with full green canopies line the middle ground, and a wooden park bench is visible among them.

In the background, a body of water stretches across the horizon with a city skyline featuring multiple high-rise buildings and what appears to be construction cranes.

On the left side, part of a brick residential building is visible, and there’s a small pavilion or gazebo structure. A paved pathway curves through the scene.

The sky is overcast with gray and white clouds, giving the scene a moody, late summer or early fall atmosphere.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​A coastal scene viewed from a rocky shoreline, showing large gray boulders and stones in the foreground with wild grasses and dried vegetation growing among them.

The rocks appear to form a natural breakwater or jetty extending into the water.

Across the water, a modern city skyline is visible featuring several high-rise residential towers and apartment buildings of varying heights, with glass and concrete facades.

The tallest building appears to be a sleek tower with a dark top section.

The sky is heavily overcast with thick gray clouds, creating a moody atmosphere.

The water appears calm, and the overall scene has a muted, subdued color palette typical of an overcast day at the coast.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I base so many cities skylines builds of this cute lil town

A large historical map display mounted on a chain-link fence, showing a detailed black and white map titled “MAP OF THE TOWN OF DARTMOUTH, NOVA SCOTIA.” 

The map appears to be from archival surveys and records, as indicated by text mentioning “Provincial Surveying and Pub. Co.” and references to the Dartmouth Heritage Museum.

The map shows the detailed street layout and harbor area of historic Dartmouth, with intricate line work depicting roads, waterways, and property boundaries. 

The map is weathered and appears to be printed on fabric or canvas material, mounted as an outdoor educational display.

Modern buildings and construction equipment are visible in the background behind the fence.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

im on my third new scotland house cocktail… ama

This image shows a section of a cocktail menu on aged, cream-colored paper with a textured appearance. The menu is titled “CLASSIC COC” at the top (with part of the word cut off by the image frame).

The menu lists two cocktail recipes:

**NEW SCOTLAND HOUSE COCKTAIL**

- 1 oz Vodka
- 1 oz Triple Sec
- Orange and Cranberry Juice
- Soda Water

**DIRTY MARTINI**

- 2 oz Gin or Vodka
- Dry Vermouth
- Olive Juice
- Olives

At the bottom right of the menu, there’s a decorative silhouette illustration showing what appears to be a heraldic lion (similar to the Nova Scotia coat of arms) in dark gray/black.

The menu appears to be sitting on a wooden surface, and the paper has a vintage, weathered look with some staining or aging marks visible.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
