Beautiful shots to all the posters above. Here's one taken in the Whitemud Ravine while looking for Owls.

Shutter was seized on my DSLR so I wasn't able to get any quality shots, but here's one I was able to capture with my Iphone 8 from last night's storm.

^^^ That's what I love about Edmonton ... you can get to its beauty on a bike in minutes from almost anywhere in the city.

Thank you! Don’t tell that to the couch potatoes or people that haven’t been here though. I like hearing how I live in the boiler room of Canada. 😂

So, at Silly Hall they're spending millions to lower the water in their reflective poll "to meet new provincial guidelines."
Yet, at the Lege ......

@ianoyeg
Yeah... what’s with that? My community league with some funds from the city and province just replaced their reflecting pool and fountains with two new water features. New playground, benches, landscaping etc.They repurposed what they could and added a lot of new stuff. It’s nice but I’m sure it was expensive.
@ianoyeg
I understand you not wanting to provide an images in threads due to size and download speed/data usage for people.
@ianoyeg
But I really wish that for THIS thread you would provide an image or at the VERY LEAST a link, so I know what photo you are speaking about. I don't have twitter but I can access it via google search BUT map of city, highrise crane construction, planters, etc.
This does not help me at all if I'm not here the instant you post it.

It's always exciting when Edmonton gets new street art and the City of Edmonton didn't choose it (it costs significantly less too).

Awesome.
Yes, it's really nice. The only unfortunate thing is that it faces north (which will make it last much longer as there is less sun damage) but it's next to a northbound road so it won't be seen nearly as much as it should. However everyone who goes to the Strathcona farmers market will see it.

This thread has been oddly quiet of late...

Alright, alright, it's a great picture, already. (And why isn't it posted on the Stantec thread??)
Geez, soooo needy …

although it was sandwiched between three other photos on this thread [to make it less obvious?].
even though this thread is titled "The one shot (of Edmonton) by you."
and even though this is his thread and started with "One image per day limit from each person" in his first post.
of course there are no qualms about not adhering to the "by you" rule either.
maybe it's just a case of he who sets the rules gets to break the rules?

But to his credit, his photography has improved a fair bit of late which makes it a little more bearable. However it does make viewing other people's work a little more difficult when one has to flip through so many images. Maybe it's the "British" in me but I think the notion of fair play applies.

Sorry guys, my bad on this and overzealousness. I will adhere to the 1/day.
So it only took a dozen or more posters stating that over the years of this thread that you finally clue in? Wow.
I am a little slow sometimes.

It's funny, and I think I know what causes it:
Seems the stronger hand sort of pulls the camera down off square - so you get a great shot like this, but it's tilted (albeit ever-so-slightly).
And just so you know - happens to me all the time too, so it's not a criticism.

seeing as this is your thread, perhaps it's time to rename it (assuming sameer ahmed is not an IanO alter ego?) "the one shot (of edmonton) posted by you thread"?
and now i will await the barrage of counter posts/opinions because this is a great edmonton photo that there should be - and already is - a place for. like maybe the "edmonton images you found on the internet" thread in this very same sub-forum?

Interpretation Ken.
Some believe 'by you' is literal and direct, others believe it is about you posting a photo perhaps originating by you or perhaps not.
And "One shot" actually means one full memory card? And "Of Edmonton" means on the same planet as. That basically it?

aaaah... i see.
there really is absolutely no difference between “the one shot (of edmonton) by you thread” and “edmonton images you found on the internet” thread. they are actually for - perhaps or perhaps not - posting the very same content depending on interpretation, not language.
next thing you know someone will want us to believe that truth isn’t truth, it’s interpretation.

Great shot. TY.👍🏻

Love this shot.

it's worth reflecting on the fact that most of that density is at least 30 - 40 years old.
