I heading down to go to the Commonwealth Coliseum but there was no way to get in and take some pictures as I talked to the representative by phone while I was looking for a place to take some pictures. So I ended up going to Whyte Avenue which is a very artsy area of the city and I ran into this gent that was playing the Scottish bag pipes and I was going to video him and I look across and I could see across the street there was the caboose so I went over there and spoke to them and the halted there trip for me for five minutes so I could get a few pictures. Nice of them, I wanted one from within, but they were off schedule and I never push it, I was fortunate enough to get the pictures that I got and then I went the Provincial Legislature building which I did last year but just a few as I was running out time with my batteries with my camera. These all were taken on today's date of October 11th. By the time I got out there it was around noon, earlier it's was rather cold. But after it all I was pleased that I obtained some of the visuals that I wished to take for this t time of year.
Bet his knees were cold

ReplyDeleteOh this is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLOL Jen!
ReplyDeleteThis I like.
ReplyDeleteI love parks and this one looks like a great one. I love Fall photography and the rich colours.
ReplyDeleteI researched Tartans and Plaids recently and contrary to what I thought, they are no longer associated with Clans or families.
ReplyDeleteI like this blue nd green one. It's unusual. Nice photo.
Interesting image.
ReplyDeleteThis smiling conductor seems to enjoy his work. There should be more like him, particularly in Montreal.
ReplyDeleteThese tracks are interesting.
ReplyDeleteThe colored leaves bring in just enough colour. Lovely shot.
ReplyDeleteI like this. Nice colour.
ReplyDeleteThat is very nice. I wish I knew what it is. I see birds on it and I just love the bright colour.
ReplyDeleteI love this old style of architecture. Great imposing building.
ReplyDeleteLovely balcony and pillars.
ReplyDeleteNice to see your camera filled up with autumn colours!
ReplyDeleteActually he was very talkative and I asked him if he didn't mind the pictures and I know I could have got a video and him playing the "pipes" for thanksgiving but I looked across the street and there was the older men running the Caboose, so I knew I only had so much time his name was Julian, and was right from Scotland first generation - was neat.
ReplyDeleteHe was not wearing traditional but a mixture of something and was a Scottish probably due to the weather and he was not with a group to be playing he was just doing his own thing.
ReplyDeleteI have no clue what this monument stands for. It was around the back of the Provincial building and I just liked the way it looked.
ReplyDeleteThis is right on the side of what is called Whyte Avenue. It's the back entrance to the Farmer's Market. There is about four of these and as I parked my car in a restricted area - I wanted to get a few things as fast as I could I really love some of the paintings that are done around this place as it's a very creative area.
ReplyDeleteJen, I really don't know what this stands for I just saw it and I liked how it looked. I guess I will have some explaining to do but I have no idea at the moment what it stand for. All I know is I liked the ongoing fire at the top and the hue of orange in the middle of the park that surrounded the Alberta Provincial Legislature Building.
ReplyDeleteI liked the angle and the path Jena...
ReplyDeleteMost of them are retired and do this just on the weekends and yes indeed they enjoy it. They were more than hospitable in allowing me to take pictures that were avant guard but the passed there deadline by a few minutes and this was the second last picture - I wanted to get one from inside but there will be a next time. These two men we very happy with what they do. And it's more of a tourism thing, but regardless they were very nice older chaps.
ReplyDeleteThank you bareheart...
ReplyDeleteI love this building Lis. Last year I did much more with it. During the month of December. This day I just wanted to get a few things and not just focus on one place. I love historical buildings and the way they look as well as the way reasong they look the way they do.

It won't be there much longer as the weather has started to really turn to being much colder. Soon enough they will dig them up as many places have now and fortunate for me I was able to get a shot with flowers as most places now have taken them out in preparation for the winter season. But the colours are nice. Brick and mortar and some colour from a natural source.
ReplyDeleteA vantage of a pathway....yeah
ReplyDeleteWhen winter hits again I will get privy to go in more so that I did before and within this place it's something reeeeally special.
ReplyDeleteThis I loved taking I nearly laid down in taking it. It really shows the colours as well of Autumn. I have always loved this style of vantage.
ReplyDeleteThank you much. Regarless of where we are well all have different vantages but most of the times mutual awareness of what we like.
ReplyDeleteI like this one also Jack.....The colours of Autumn on the tracks....Wonders where the track leads.
