Edmonton Downtown and Muttart Conservancy ~ This view of downtown shows the capitol building in the distance, with hot air balloons, no less. The glass structures in the foreground are Muttart Conservancy, four separate biosphere environments, with different ecological gardens inside each one. They allow a garden experience even during the sometimes harsh winters of Alberta.
Edmonton Capitol with Balloons ~ Hot air balloons drifting over downtown. A few moments later they began to descend, and I wondered where in the downtown they planned to land. They disappeared from sight, and the mystery remained a mystery.
Edmonton Downtown Skyline ~ While walking in Strathearn Park, a couple of blocks from where I was staying, I discovered, across the Saskaschewan River, the downtown area. The trees were in their autumn colors, and it was a beautiful day.
