Chocolate Lake scenes

On arrival in Halifax, the house was not ready for us, and so we spent the first couple of nights in a hotel in town. It was a very nice hotel, situated on a most intriguing body of water called Chocolate Lake. We were surprised to see people still swimming in it, but apparently the lakes here warm up very nicely, and stay warm well into the fall. Over the two days there, we had some very magical light. Here's a clip from the hotel's web site:

"The lake is surrounded by private homes, a hotel, and a city beach, which is extremely popular with local families in the summer.

This body of water is an artificial lake into which no aquatic species have been introduced. However, swimmers have noticed minnows swimming along the edge of Chocolate Lake Beach. The name is from a chocolate factory, one of many light industries that used to be on this little lake’s shores. The lake formed after the locals quarried the rock in the 18th century.

Chocolate Lake is referenced in the Jenn Grant song titled “Dreamer.”
