Looking through a skylight in downtown Edmonton, under a bright afternoon sun. Snapped on a recent visit to Alberta’s capital city.

CKUA, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

One example of the many painted signs that remain on older buildings in Edmonton, something that’s almost impossible to find in Calgary. (Also, CKUA left 580 AM some time ago, so don’t bother looking for it there.)

Alberta legislature building, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

Last Monday was a warm, summer-like day in Edmonton, with all sorts of people out in the wading pools and seeking shade under the trees on the grounds of Alberta’s legislature building.
