Today is bright and crisp in Edmonton, and I thought Churchill Square might be a good place to visit on my first day back in a long while. It didn’t have the food trucks and patio chairs I had anticipated, but it did have some interesting Christmas decorations.
The artist probably anticipated snow on the ground when they devised these giant snowballs, but sadly the lighting cable coverings are still very apparent. Thanks to some curious visitors who showed them to me, I discovered windows in one of the snowballs and when I looked inside I saw a very elaborate train set.
I could not find the name of the artist for the sculpture in the following pictures, but if and when I do, I will post it here. The colourful protrusions are a lot of fun, and they too would probably look even better if there were snow on the ground.
Here enjoying the skating rink in front of City Hall are a few folks who have it all to themselves.

THE YORK FACTORY EXPRESS:
The North Saskatchewan River began its journey to the sea in the Rocky Mountains, an icy cascade that emerged from the base of a glacier. Its silted waters flowed past the Hudson's Bay Company's Rocky Mountain House, carving a watery path deep into the prairie highlands. By the time it reached Edmonton House, the river flowed through a steep-banked valley almost 200 feet below the level of the surrounding grasslands.... http://nancymargueriteanderson.com/seventh-leg/ #EdmontonAB -
THE YORK FACTORY EXPRESS:
The Athabasca Portage was an 80-mile horse journey south from Fort Assiniboine, to Edmonton House. #EdmontonAB It might have been the shortest leg of the journey east to Hudson Bay, but it was by no means the easiest. For once there were no mountains to climb; but the trail led through a morass of swamps, bogs, burnt trees and deep streams. Another of the many difficulties was the poor condition of the horses.... http://nancymargueriteanderson.com/sixth-leg/ #ABHistory #HistoricTrails
