Edmonton stroll Part Un


Ok, my pseudo-hatred of Edmonton has ended. I think I just take the city for granted because I've seen it all my life. Luckily Fall came around and reminded me of some of the many reasons I love this city. Here's some pics from my epic walk from Whyte to The Legislative grounds and back. Click to see 'em bigger

Good ole Walterdale Bridge

Rivervalley trail

Just some stairs, fall makes everything pretty.

Mmm berries. Delicious poisonous berries.

3 Bridges for the price of 1!
