Edmonton, CANADÀ 2024

Rice Howard Way NW is a key street and passageway in Downtown Edmonton, Canada, known for its function as a semi-pedestrian zone and a hub of urban activity.

Key Points:

Location and Function: Located in Downtown Edmonton, it connects prominent office buildings and features spaces with restaurants and cafes. It serves as an important pedestrian thoroughfare with limited vehicular traffic, enhancing downtown's urban vibrancy.

Name and History: The name combines the former streets of Rice Street (100A Avenue) and Howard Avenue (100A Street), which have been in use since at least 1892. Its development as a pedestrian mall (originally "Rice Howard Mall") began in the mid-1960s as part of a downtown revitalization plan.

Entertainment District: A section of the Way has recently been designated an Entertainment District during the summer months. This involves full closure to vehicle traffic on weekends to allow for outdoor programming, music, and the consumption of alcoholic beverages outside licensed establishments, boosting the local economy and nightlife.

Connection Point: The area is a key spot in Edmonton's underground pedway system and has close access to the Central LRT Station.

Multiple shot stitched panorama of one of the best spots photograph the Edmonton skyline! Loving the D610, as I was able to capture all the shadows and highlights in a single shot which allowed me to shoot this panorama much faster. File size is over 50" long, it should print huge!

This Old House by Mike Isaak

Here's my first photo of 2015, taken on the morning of Jan. 3rd and it's actually not a night time photo! Seems I've been heading out a lot late at night and neglecting sunrise and sunset so I thought it was time to get out there again.

There was some cloud cover over Edmonton but once I got out to this old homestead that Jeff Wallace Photography directed me to, the skies were fairly clear. Jeff went off to another old house and I stayed here.

Since I knew there wasn't going to be too much colour because of the lack of clouds, I chose this simple composition and thought it would look good in black and white. I have a few more photos to go through from different angles and some with the sun poking out that I'll post when I get around to it.

How does the black and white treatment look? Is there anything I could improve on? Give me your thoughts in the comments below.

Once again thanks for the likes and shares!
