@Kaizen Cool, thanks. The lens compression makes it look like the Weber Centre is in Bonnie Doon or something.

My brother and I went for a walk in Hawrelak Park yesterday afternoon. We weren't the only ones. I think that may have been the busiest I have seen the park in the winter, especially given that skating isn't open yet. I think the new EFCL park is going to be a hit. Was very busy yesterday, although some of the traffic was due to a few hockey teams having their pictures taken.

I looked at this a few times now. It has a 60s vibe to it. A good match if you pair it with the Yorath house across the river.

Overall convenient timing for it to open with so many starved for leisure outside their homes!

Celebrate our winter city with Winterscapes!

January 18, 2021

The City of Edmonton’s Winterscapes photo contest is back to recognize Edmontonians who beautify their neighbourhoods and build community spirit. Even while covered in snow, a yard can be a wonderful canvas to create beautiful scenes to add colour and joy to your area and for your neighbours to safely enjoy.

A winterscape can include snow, ice, lights, ornaments and winter-themed scenery and can be built in a front yard or in a public space. Participate by filling out the nomination form and submitting a photo of your own or someone else’s winterscape at edmonton.ca/winterscapes in one of three categories: Winter Art, Winter Garden or Winter Play.

Nominations are accepted until February 28. All submitted photos will be posted on the City of Edmonton’s Facebook page for public voting. Prizes will be awarded to the top three yards in each category, and a special award will be given to the Winterscapes judging panel’s favourite yard.

A little humor for those who find the recent cold snap a tad disconcerting:
Thanks to Susan D. and Laura P.
