Man, I really ought to head back to Saskatoon. I haven't been in years and even when I was in your city, it was always very briefly. The city definitely looks cool, quirky, and modern, like a mini Edmonton.

Spectacular shots. Only in Canada and the northern states do I see this level of vibrancy come warm weather, as if everything is reawakening. It's always a pleasure to see your threads, Saskatchewan is an underrated gem.

Interesting place. according to Wikipedia it has rather high rates of crime and disease by Canada's standards. What's the population like, including ethnically? Has the feel of a Midwestern US town, but the slightly more stylish women give away the fact that we're not in the US anymore

Well stated and great observation that I never thought of until now..

It's true.There's almost a celebratory buzz in the air come spring. Spring fever...Especially after a long winter...Summer festivals, local beaches, and bbq's/outdoor parties in Canada are popular and everybody gets up for them..

The only comparison that comes to mind would be what I sense happens in the Savannah after a long drought when the rainy season comes in.

Not to say that winter is an entirely bad thing..Nice sunny wintery days can be invigorating when you are outside on a trail or just a walk.

Hopefully summer 2016.

2015 just didn't pan out for me.

wistful.

these photos almost have a utopic 1970s "endless summer" vibe about them. they seem to capture a sort of innocence-lost that many middle american cities once had before the crack and running away shadow-times, gone like the elms in the states. dem elms. lovely.

I dig the observation. Others have told me my photos are dream-like, which fits with this.

I've always been drawn to nostalgia - be it in music, film, art - and evidently, photography.

Thanks.

This set makes me very happy. Also I love the infill, and that the people on the rocks look as small as ants!
