Edmonton - Riding the rails
 

Today I had the privilege of going on a field trip of sorts from Downtown to Old Strathcona and back by way of our High Level Streetcar.

Enjoy.

It's almost as if this boosterism is your job or something.... :haha:

Nice set...

Very nice tour...I like it

Recently been watching a lot of mafia movies and all of sudden to realize that it is perfect and very convenient for Edmonton urban gangsters to dump bodies as such dense forests surrounding the city...lack of neighborhood watch and surveillance cameras.

Very charming tour!

Edmonton has a very Nordic look in these pictures.

I enjoyed the tour, that rail bridge gave me vertigo!

The tall building in the distance looks very similar to the Austonian here in Austin.

What a nice mix of urban and nature, dig it!

Fun tour, thanks for sharing.

That rail bridge gave me goosebumps!

Ah! These photos make me miss Edmonton so much! Thanks for posting!

Nice pictures! Strathcona looks like a nice, historic neighborhood.

Tis indeed a gem of a neighbourhood and formerly a competing city to that of Edmonton...

Lovely surrounding greenery. Very appealing.

Holy hell Edmonton has a lot of golf.

There are a couple more golf courses just outside the overhead shot as well.
