The home of friends who lost everything in the June flood. The Bow river (they are a couple of blocks away from the river) came up under their house and pushed the foundation slab up and flipped it over.
They just got running water and a new furnace installed last week. The Alberta government has decided they aren't eligible for financial help. They can't sell and they can't move.
The foundation walls are braced on the inside and there are jacks keeping the house upright.

Wurst was one of many restaurants and businesses wiped out by the flood. They hope to re-open in early 2014.

The temporary housing for flood victims has just opened in an industrial park in Calgary's SE.

Downtown Moncton in mid-October:

These are pictures I took around downtown Moncton yesterday. The low October sun and absence of humidity led to harsh shadows which somewhat complicated the photoshoot and prevented certain angles from being photographed (too much glare). Still, the results aren't bad and the pictures capture the downtown area in the fall pretty well.....

Great pictures, MonctonRad.

I lived near here when I lived in Moncton:

I used to walk the tracks back to my place.

A few of the others:

Mount Pearl, NL
Marystown, NL
Creston South, NL
Corner Brook, NL
Stephenville, NL
Halifax, NS
- Cole Harbour, NS
Churchpoint, NS
Moncton, NB
- Dieppe, NB
TO, ON
Kenora, ON
Winnipeg, MB
Beausejour, MB

Nothing is next permanently. But I wouldn't be opposed to spending a year or two elsewhere - primarily in Europe.

My employer has offices in Dublin and London, so it's a possibility. The only catch is I'd want the people of Dublin but the city of London. So I may just have to say **** it and go to Edinburgh.
