Came across some reminders of mortality and impermanence as I was hiking around Cole Harbour Heritage Park last week.
Overlooking the sea were these crosses marking the graves of dead Halifax Poor’s Farm residents.
Farther down the shore and a bit off the trail, the decaying remnants of some vehicle, a car or a truck, rusting to pieces among the muddy rushes.
And most sobering of all, Papyrus headers on park signs and displays.
