Many towns and cities are often known by some unusual landmark, such as the giant Ukranian Easter egg in Vegreville.... well in Edmonton, it is our  man made waterfall into the North Saskatchewan River, off the High Level Bridge. This iron structure is a railway tressell bridge, built originally about 1910 for CPR, and a connector between Edmonton and Strathcona. These days the main deck has 2 lanes of one way north south car traffic and the upper deck is used by a tourist trolley car in the summer.

It gets turned on 2-3 times/year, usually on holiday weekends and was on last night from 9-11 PM.

Makes for great viewing and surprisingly interesting photo ops.

Was coolish as  temps went down to just above freezing, but the dogs and I wandered down about 9:30 PM.   The self portrait attempt as usual produces odd angles and my wonderfully square jawbut then some cyclists came along and got the dogs and I.

Did some experimenting later on the lap top and decided that black and white is effective. here is an original shot followed by B&W. and the sepia tones.

Side note..was abit annnoyed with Nanuq as she kept pulling on her
leash but as several of these shots were taken from the parallel LRT
walking bridge, it just might have been frightening for her.

I do like these and hope you enjoy!
