personal memories of beautiful days in nova scotia (10)
instead of flowers on valentine's day - a rather bored looking uniformed re-enactor at the entrance to the fortress of halifax, hoping his shift was over soon and he could go home to his valentine ... ;-))
happy valentine's day and ST to everyone on am3 !!!

@Curly: that might well be ... ;-))
he appears much more active here, though!
@klausZ: na ja, ist ja kein wirklicher soldat ... die tun mir ja echt leid, wenn sie so lange regungslos stehen müssen !!
der hier ist entweder ein freiwilliger oder ein museumsangestellter, so genau hab ich das nicht mitbekommen damals. (ist übrigens in kanada, nicht in GB!)
hier ist er jedenfalls ein bisschen aktiver ... ;-))
@Phil David Morris, 2012: thanks, phil! isn't everyone (in need of some love, that is) ?!? ;-))
@Ted: and that wasn't all, as you can see here ... ;-))
@J.R.: ... in a very subdued way perhaps ... ;-))
@CElliottUK: and his misery could have been intensified by the pouring rain ... ;-))
@Eric Cousineau: 'underwhelmed' describes his state of mind perfectly ... ;-))
@Don Levesque: thanks, don, and very joyful v.d. to you and yours as well !!
@Jules: and his dark mood might be aggravated by the pouring rain ... ;-))
@Denny Jump Photo: i like your 'comparison', don !! not very long, i would say - but then, this is canada, and they are more laid back there ... ;-)) a very happy v.d. to you and barbara, too !!!
@PRASHANT: he'd probably jump in your face if you called his uniform a costume ... ;-)))
@Göran: he was having some fun later on, though ... ;-))
@Roman: danke, roman, aber die mauer ist stark genug um ihn zu stützen ... ;-))
später dann hat er eh etwas zu tun gehabt ...
@Rick: thanks, rick! i guess he was just wishing the rain would stop soon as he was to do something else later on and probably didn't want to get too wet ...
looking forward to your photo !!!
@Mariana M.: thanks, m.! never looked at it this way, though ... ;-)) (with men in kilts you can't even be sure they are wearing panties at all ... !!)
@Marleen: thanks, marleen, for this very appreciative comment! i, too, find great pleasure in the different reactions of different people! that's one of the special charms of a site like am3, i think!
@AMH: gracias, alejandra, y un feliz dia de san valentin tambien!
este hombre, despues de su servicio de guardia, hizo algo mas dinamico ... ;-))
@Judy aka L@dybug: thanks for this interesting link with gorgeous skating images. i had not seen it and would have been sorry to miss it. so thanks again! no skating in florida, i suppose !?!
