Posted April 25, 200718 yr If you have Alberta Bound by Gordon Lightfoot, go ahead and cue it in the ipod. Oh, and the stereotypes about Texas of Canada, completely true. Lots of pick-up trucks, lots of country music, the oil industry and poorly planned development. well, the view from my digs for the weekend. the entire weekend was perpetually hazy. My bad, I brought the overcast from cleveland Okay, before we dive into the city further, a tourism break! Yes, that's right, the world's largest easter egg. I'm just as confused as you are. Apparently canadians find it very necessary to divert the military to guard its most treasured landmarks. Oh what it takes to put a city on the map. that's right, the world's largest sausage. the skyline of mundare with its two largest structures, the silo dealie and the sausage Elk Island National Park, closer than jasper! hey, the pope! hey, the pope! some lake or something. No buffalo though Okay, back in the city. Capital building of Alberta I'm an american burning canadian flags. And seriously, there's like 492 "eternal flames" in the city profile of your quirky colored limestone capital Home of the Cracker Cats (seriously, I'm not making that up) 1970s brutalist in canada? Nooooo.... there's some breaths of fresh air, but like any good canadian metro, there's a love for prefab cement brutalist. Mirrors to reflect natural light down into the pedway I'm guessing i'm not the first person to take this angle and some refute the "Texas of Canada" Claim despite them always being in the way, don't ever get rid of your overhead bus power lines missmatch of styles Rail town park, I'm not sure if you guys really get how to build dense properly. Though not featured in this photographs, large amounts of fences is not the way The key to any canadian sports chant "GO (insert team name) GO" some college that caught my eye Not much old brick lying around, but I did nab some here The arts district, complete with a smart car! baby steps in fixing the housing crisis (too bad they are all condos) I would have done all glass at the top. Its hard not to take pictures of Manulife Manulife's baby brother the classy hotel Does CN have a nasty obsession with building ugly? One-56th the rotating restaurants of Seoul the Champs-elysoilers still hanging out downtown. Shaw Conference Center, home to long fountains! Giza Condos on the other bank of the saskatchewan river more condos! okay, back up from the conference center's platform sorry, you're just going to have to get used to seeing manulife City Hall you're guess is as good as mine is every scotia bank solid gold? top of manulife bah during this shot, i'm enjoying a double double functioning LRT! most of these night shots blow, the haze was unbareable ditto capitaltastic! that's actually a flame at top, think mordor. yay, i'm home!

April 27, 200718 yr Wow, you made Edmonton look very depressing! I think the depressing Edmonton look has very little to do with The Pope, and more to do with the fact that Edmonton is incredibly depressing. I must say, that handsome fellow in the brown jacket seems like a great guy, though. What the hell is he doing in Edmonton?
