City of Edmonton

Tourist in my own town.

If you can't get out of town...   maybe you could give your own city a second look.  That's what we decided this fall.  We spent a few days exploring along the river valley, its parks and the streets and buildings of downtown.  It was a chance to turn my camera lens to something a bit different from my usual and develop (haha..) in a new direction.  Edmonton really is a beautiful city.
