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.













Our newest residential high-rise 'Encore' (143m) - occupancy next week for some


The Valley Line SE LRT project will connect Downtown with the far SE section of the city.
