Edmonton needs a little more height to help balance Stantec which looks like it's giving us the middle finger in that shot. Out of curiosity, is that south facing toward Calgary?

South indeed and if you were a little higher up it's a really neat angle because it is one of the few that captures the entire length from 82st-124st.

I'm still of the opinion that the middle finger was intentional to our southern neighbour...

Those are some nice summer pics of Edmonton.

They feel warmer than the usual pics with the stunted boreal forest style trees in the foreground.

I think it’s damn time Trish Jewison invest in a real camera. She gets to enjoy an amazing vantage point every day as a helicopter traffic reporter and takes some good shots, but all her photos are ultimately undermined by bad cell phone quality.

Agreed! I'm sure the social media compression doesn't help things either.

^^Haha. I totally agree. Even a cheap, used DLSR would be a vast improvement. If I lived in Vancouver right now, I'd donate her one of mine.

Edmonton looks good there and I love the 'ROXY' sign. Is it for a cinema? Those coniferous trees give Edmonton a distinct look too. Hopefully, Edmonton makes an effort to keep as many of them as they can.

Coldrsx · #**17512** Posted **Jul 16, 2021, 6:11 PM**

Conifers are a staple in our city and are not going anywhere.

The Roxy is a former movie theatre turned theatre/playhouse that burnt down in 2015 and is just about to reopen. It is a foundational part of our 124st neighbourhood.
