Saskatoon - You don't even know - Part 2

Rise and SHINE Saskatoon, off to the Farmer's Market.



Hi Edmonton, these are called bike lanes...

Curious






Urban playgrounds, unpossible!




Colour me a fad




Breakfast time


Butter chicken is a most wonderful post yesterday meal


Local morning water

A brewery in the market?






The best








Something glorious about this shot

What a great set... you really brought out Saskatoon's character. You must have felt at home there... S'toon always reminded me a bit of Edmonton. Must be the river.

It was an odd mix of a small Edmonton and Calgary, but certainly distinct as well. Highly recommended.

You found the Sturdy-Stone Building! Built in the late 70s, and houses provincial government offices on the upper and lower floors. The middle floors are parking.

It's probably the oddest building in the city, both loved and reviled (I personally love it).

Nice pictures! That odd building in Saskatoon looks kind of like some modernist churches you'll find in Scottsdale, Arizona.
