Saskatoon and Area Photos

Ruckus · #1 Posted: **Apr 8, 2010, 7:20 AM**

A thread for non-construction photos shot in and around Saskatoon. Buildings, parks, roads, people, wildlife, events, festivals it all goes here!

EDIT: This thread is for anyone and everyone to post their photos. Cell phone photos are fine too!

Looks inside...

An early 20th Century junction box...brutal.

First one looks like Witch Hut in Winnipeg. Second the Vehicle is Brutal! lol All in all nice set of pictures.

Witch Hut eh...(searches)...it certainly does. The Witch Hut is cooler though. It's a hut in the forest (probably fun at night).

Is a Saskatoon photo thread a good idea? I'm going to add a poll for people to vote for, against...or indifferent.

Well not exactly but somewhat.

Église du Précieux-Sang. It's French Roman Catholic.

Looks like Ruckus was out at Pike Lake.

I think the Saskatoon photo thread is a great idea. Looking forward to seeing more Saskatoon Killer Gophers in this thread.

We have it all in Saskatoon, even stand-up paddle boarding.

Ruckus · #10 Posted: **Apr 24, 2010, 2:57 AM**

WTF? That can't be much fun. I'm guessing they're just trying it out/practicing for when they decide to go coastal.

Indeed I was. It's not open yet unfortunately, well, overflow is.

From Cranberry Flats (city lights to the north).

The other half of the sky was a light shade of blue, almost white. A heavy downpour followed (light hail) and now it's pleasant again

^ Those last couple are some skyline shots you don't see everyday!

circle33 · #15 Posted: **Jun 2, 2010, 5:13 PM**

If I'm not mistaken #16 is the boathouse of none other than Mr. Ken Achs.

Nicer than my house.

Ruckus · #16 Posted: **Jun 3, 2010, 1:04 AM**

Different skyline shot for sure. That iron bacteria is kind of nasty (especially when it's not hard-packed).

Living in that boathouse would be like an episode of Fresh Prince of Bel-Air — a little more white though.

Eagle Creek Regional Park (40 km west of Saskatoon - just west of Asquith).

ha.

The Roots.

Impromptu dance party in Friendship Park.

The captions are essential -- hop on a hovercraft to Calgary.

Victoria Park.

Devon · #18 Posted: **Jul 17, 2010, 12:56 AM**

Haha the 2 men in front of you at the Roots show who were about to "pass the popcorn" are my good friends.

Ruckus · #19 Posted: **Jul 17, 2010, 9:43 PM**

You should have been in there with them! Funkalicious fun

The green Saskatoon picture is AMAZING! It's exactly what everyone wants the city to be. Dense but not over bearing. Visual green power production presence. High use of green public transit. Visually pleasing architecture everywhere AND lots of trees!
