Edmonton - Those COVID days/nights - A walk around the hood
 
Having been away for three weeks, I wanted to reconnect with my neighbourhood by way of photo tour, our new Al Fresco market, check out the LRT progress, grab a pint or three and then head to my first movie (Before Sunrise) since COVID times. As luck would have it, we ran into a brief downpour that provided some beautiful things to shoot.

:cheers:

Great tour! Thanks for sharing those.

Awesome shots!

Nice to see some photos of Edmonton at ground level. Looks like a beautiful city, thanks for sharing.

Nice pictures.

On the note of the pandemic, it doesn't seen to be a lot of mask-wearing. But crowds tend to be smaller. I see masks more frequently down here in the US.

Coldrsx Jul 30, 2020 2:18 PM

Oddly enough, I'd say I normally see about 50-75% of people masked these days, but it certainly was not seen in these.

Our city just made it mandatory to have them in all public spaces.

Looks like a fantastic, clean city. Would love to get up to Alberta one of these days!

Looks nice, but soooo many idiots.

cabasse Aug 1, 2020 10:06 PM

edmonton looks like it's rather hilly, especially compared to calgary. looks like a nice, underappreciated city.

Coldrsx Aug 2, 2020 2:56 PM

Calgary has quite a bit more undulation in its topography, but our river valley is significant from top of bank to top of bank.

nice to see. i like how it seems like we are hanging around and moving around the highlight views of town with you. i like thread 'feels' like that.

it struck me kinda funny to see that the train bridge over the river goes across the top and the people go into a tunnel, instead of vice versa.

Nice summer tour of Edmonton, a city mostly associated with winter otherwise; I remember seeing a documentary called "Winter cities" as a child when I just got into architecture and was fascinated by the skybridges, skyscrapers and West Edmonton Mall. I even recorded it on VHS. Edmonton looks nice summertime.
