It looks great! something to brighten up those long northern nights in the winter for sure! Hopefully they didn't cheap out like they did on so many buildings here, having large sections burnt out looks brutal!

Someone posted a picture of a canola field with dark clouds forming maybe two years ago on here. Ring a bell? I loved the shot but can't seem to find it anymore.

Nice photo Bulliver!

I can think of many different bridge designs that look far nicer than the current bridge in the pic. In my opinion, nothing about the bridge is worth saving.

^ I agree, I was taken aback when Elise Stolte described it as "beautiful" - it's very obviously a value-engineered design of the day.

Blatant self promotion: My 'camera gang' got a bit of a write up in Gig City. You may recognize the names of one or two other SSPers in there as well...

Great article. I'd be interested in tagging along sometime soon, I'm way rusty & out of practice.

Not sure, but it sounds very much like some of the tweeted pics coming from actors filming "Cut Bank" not far from Edmonton. Check out the Movie 'poster' on IMDB.
