Edmonton Pics

Here are some pictures of my travels around my hometown, Edmonton. Read the blog post below for more information on my Top 20 Things to do in Edmonton.


Our lovely Legislature Building reflected in the pool in the front. I love this picture!


The inside of City Hall - a very modern building...


... with very ancient inspirations! Everybody loves a pyramid! This is the outside of City Hall, with the clock tower, fountain and Sir Winston Churchill Square.


And one of the best hotels in the city, the Fairmont Hotel MacDonald (there's a lot of history there!)


Me outside the temporary location of the Alberta Art Gallery (they are currently rebuilding the Art Gallery building into a modern masterpiece!)


Some great art on the wall of the Education Building at the University of Alberta Campus


Rutherford Library - one of my old haunts from my Uni days


One of the older buildings on Campus - and one of my favourites!


And of course, Tory Building, where I spent most of my time in class getting my degree.


Rutherford House - a great and forgotten museum on University campus. It is lovely and a preservation of a house from the early 1900's


My favourite animal, the elephant! This is Lucy.


Me in front of the Valley Zoo.


My picnic in Hawrelak Park (the lake is a little bigger than in the picture).


A trail in the River Valley.


The North Saskatchewan River which cuts through the middle of the city.
