Three of Big Miller
Last Saturday, my wanderings took me into Old Strathcona and by the Yardbird Suite. There in front of the iconic jazz venue is a statue commemorating the legendary blues singer Big Miller. I’ve seen the statue from a distance many times but finally decided to check it out up close: The wond...

Pyramids in the Valley
The Muttart Conservatory with its 4 striking glass pyramids is one of my favorite Edmonton landmarks. It is wonderful to be inside the pyramids, each of which is a greenhouse featuring a different eco-system. I don’t get inside as often as I would like but I still enjoy the pyramids from ...

Another Side of Main Street
In recent posts I’ve featured images of various parts of downtown Edmonton – Jasper Avenue, Churchill Square, the convention center and Canada Place, all with their own beauty and architectural beauty. In this post, we will look at another side of Edmonton, another part of downtown Ja...

Canada Place
The same day that I took the photos of the last two blog posts in Churchill Square and the Convention Centre, I also passed by Edmonton’s Canada Place and a few interesting angles caught my attention.

In and Around the Convention Centre
Built into the bank of the North Saskatchewan river valley, the Edmonton’s convention center (or Shaw Conference Centre) is a landmark and architecturally interesting inside an out. Last Saturday as I made my way from the river valley to downtown I passed up by the building and stopped to c...

Focus on Jasper
Jasper Avenue that is – Edmonton’s historical main street. Last Saturday afternoon (2016 March 26) I took my camera (with wide angle lens) and focused on some of the buildings. How many times have I been up and down that street without slowing down to look. Here is some of what I saw:...

Edmonton’s Least Wanted
A chance encounter last Saturday afternoon, while walking through downtown Edmonton brought a smile to my face. I was walking around for a couple of hours with my camera, getting some exercise and taking some pictures – mostly landscape, architectural or just interesting stuff or angles. As...

Spring Breakup
The North Saskatchewan River flows through the City of Edmonton and is its lifeblood. Through the seasons the river will change its character and every winter it will for the most part freeze over. Typically in February the ice will soften and show signs foreshadowing it’s breakup. By the e...

A Step Back
The winter was mild and all indications were that Edmonton would be experiencing an early spring. Surprise! Two days after the equinox and the snow is falling again. It’s nothing too serious – a bit chilly but kind of pretty. Here are a few images from downtown around midday. As disap...

Getting Closer
I continued my search today (March 19), for signs of spring in Edmonton. It actually isn’t that hard to believe that spring is officially just a few days away. Despite some rather cool days this past week, snow is hard to see (in open areas) and the ground and streets have substantially dri...

Wandering Jasper Avenue
Sometimes I like to just walk in my city and see what I can see (and with my camera in-hand, to capture and share images of what is to be seen). So it was on Saturday afternoon (2016 February 27). I walked Jasper Avenue from 96 Street to 116 Street, but in this blog post […]

Spring is Coming
Here it is, the end of February. Even though its been a mild winter in Edmonton, spring can’t come soon enough. Although there are another 3 weeks until the equinox and being Edmonton I wouldn’t rule out a major snowfall until, say mid-May, the changes in the last week are encouraging...
