Put new snow tires on my Magnum yesterday. (Yep, snow isn't far away here in northern Canada.)
While I waited for the tire guys to do their thing, I walked around our city's downtown. Very cold wind, but the sun was bright.
This pretty building is all done in some sort of copper overlay on the windows. It looks so great reflecting the clouds.

The Fin and I were out for a walk - our timing was good - we were fortunate to come across this lovely sunset

Edmonton Transit steeple cab electric No. 2001 awaits assignment in a perfect portrait captured in Edmonton, Alberta in 1986. Prior to its service in Alberta, 2001 served as BC Electric No. 961.
It was built American Locomotive Company and General Electric (Alco-GE) No. 21 for the Oregon Electric Railway in June 1912. 21 was utilized it to move freight and passengers through the Willamette Valley on an interurban connecting Portland, Salem, and Eugene.
The 2001 would later return to the United States and is now part of an historic collection at the Oregon Electric Railway Museum in Brooks. The museum plans to preserve it as one of only two remaining pieces of original OER equipment.

One of my favorite things about waking around downtown Edmonton, is the beautiful buildings and interesting architecture. The Art Gallery of Alberta and the Citadel Theater have been in place around Churchill Square for years, promoting arts and culture in our City. These buildings are just as interesting inside as they are from the street view.

The main public area of Edmonton City Hall is big and full of vibrant natural sunlight, all due to the glass pyramid roof which looks impressive when you look up at it.
No, these are not those cute KLM houses.
This new development is quite striking in Edmonton, Alberta. Some people love it and others not so much. I think it is a welcome change from the dull, boring, regular strip malls that we encounter so many times in the city.
Thought it looked a bit too canadian so made it into a Delfts Blue scene. Hope you like it. I do! ... ofcourse I am biased ;)

A view of Edmonton's skyline from across the North Saskatchewan River.
Edmonton (pronounced /ˈɛdməntən/) is the capital of the Canadian province of Alberta. The city is located on the North Saskatchewan River in the central region of the province, an area with some of the most fertile farmland on the prairies. It is the second largest city in Alberta, with a population of 782,439 (2009)[3] and is the hub of Canada's sixth-largest census metropolitan area, 1,081,300[4] making it the northernmost North American city with a metropolitan population over one million.
At 684 km2 (264 sq mi), the City of Edmonton covers an area larger than Chicago, Philadelphia, Toronto, or Montreal. Edmonton has one of the lowest population densities in North America, about 9.4% that of New York City. A resident of Edmonton is known as an Edmontonian.[5]
Edmonton serves as the northern anchor of the Calgary-Edmonton Corridor (one of four regions that together comprise 50% of Canada's population) and is a staging point for large-scale oil sands projects occurring in northern Alberta and large-scale diamond mining operations in the Northwest Territories.[6]
Edmonton is Canada's second most populous provincial capital (after Toronto) and is a cultural, governmental and educational centre. It plays host to a year-round slate of world-class festivals, earning it the title of "The Festival City."[7] It is home to North America's largest mall, West Edmonton Mall (which was the world's largest mall for a 23 year period from 1981 until 2004.),[8] and Fort Edmonton Park, Canada's largest living history museum.[9] In 2004, Edmonton celebrated the centennial of its incorporation as a city.[10]
