Edmonton travels

Here are a few photos from my Edmonton adventure a couple of weeks ago. Thanks, Ann, for the downtown meet-up and introduction to Old Strathcona.

The former Pocklington house on the hill

I was hoping the clouds would stick around on my morning walk in the park but they already had begun to dissipate by the time I took this shot.

My 24-105 lens was too short for this next one but the action on the shore below was great!

One Dog Dreams

My favorite from Fort Edmonton:

Edmonton Pride and big hair in Churchill Square after the Saturday afternoon downpour:

Dance performers were on stage during the entire event. "Yoko Ono" was one of the wildest and funniest to me.

A B&W conversion:

C&C always appreciated.

Thanks for sharing your journey

Love this shot-- that is some of the biggest hair I've ever seen (and yes, I have been to Texas

). Yeah, yeah, I realize it's a wig, but it's still impressive.

I don't think you're his type, Skippy.

There was a lot of impressive, big blonde hair on board that day -- along with big boobs and baloons everywhere. This made shooting really tough but I managed to find a few moments through the crowd that I can count as keepers.

I've lived in Texas. Edmonton Pride hair this year was a whole lot bigger!

Hi Tom

I love looking at others vision of things familiar to me, so I am enjoying your view of my city.

The dog shot is fabulous - love the little puppy looking on!

I am also very impressed at your shots from the Pride fest. If I thought I could muster the courage to do street shooting, I might go next year.

Hope we can meet up again!

Oh, have you noticed how TALL the big hair blonde is? (S)he towers over everyone else in the crowd!
