This morning as like most I was up and then I was out. The city was rather quiet around 9am. I headed to a building that a developer I used to know whom had built this building that I thought I might get the chance to meet the manager of the complex and have the opportunity to get the best pictures of the riverside. I was able to get in. On the weekend I didn’t think that there would be staff on.
The first picture I wanted to take was that of the "Bess". Breathtaking if you will for me. I wrote about it back five months ago during the winter and within the summer it really does make the city what it is.
My father used to have his own private office at the very top and I remember leaving my office when I was young and heading over to see him. We just talked about anything and everything. So often there was another person there and we would just enter into very interesting discussions. Those were precious times indeed. It’s a hotel and the top portion is dedicated to offices.
So today I was able to get the manager and there was no problem in having the caretaker take me right to the top. I was amazed when I was up there as I didn’t think it was that high and we spent a good hour if not more just talking about the weather and the scenery that comes from this the rooftop of this building. Was I fortunate or what. Although I don't have a great camera the picture came out great and it was marvelous to see everything from that vantage.
It's amazing how you can hit it off with people and just have the ability to get into some of these places. For this was a day that is a benchmark within the season within the sun being within the sky as the weather has changed and it’s going to be a superb month of weather.
It was truly a great way to start of the day. 
great piece but may I suggest the color of the writing be changed to a lighter one
ReplyDeletewonderful picture
I just did and I think it takes a little time for it to change Heidi...I noticed...
ReplyDeleteI didn't have any trouble reading the writing. I love to see our world from other people's perspectives.
ReplyDeleteKaryn getting up there this morning and seeing this view was tremendous. I thank you.
ReplyDeletevery very nice. nice blog. glad to read you smiling again.
ReplyDeleteso cool !
ReplyDeleteThanks and a good night from over here! :)
ReplyDeleteCongrads with your picture....!
ReplyDeleteNice view and photo.
ReplyDelete"It's amazing how you can hit it off with people" If you are open and friendly, then a person feels recognized as a human being. We all need that.
It sounds great. Beautiful view!
ReplyDeleteI was once privy to many such places. Perhaps in time I shall be again.
ReplyDeletejust a super pic love the building thankyou for posting it Rosiexx
DJ, winter is an entirely different thing!
ReplyDeleteNot that people get cranky but the transition to something so looked forward to brings out the best in people combined with a natural vitamin D! :)
An example is that this city has the highest rate of bike riders and runners within Canada with exception to British Columbia. I think that indicates the culture of the city.
Cal, I travelled so much within my mid 20's to mid 30's that now I just enjoy it here. I love NY, but I would not trade this place for anything but I would trade the weather in the winter. But spring and summer are just the time in which it does shine. Actually that is the motto of this city - "Saskatoon Shines".
ReplyDeleteThank you Rosie. Here is a closer version:
ReplyDeleteAnd then the other side:
ReplyDeleteAnd ironically the television has a camera on top of the building to broadcast the scenery of the city during the news and that told me I was fortunate to get ontop of this place that was built by a man by the name of John Remai.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to start your Sunday! WOW!!! Beautiful building, and beautiful view. Kudos!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Terri, it's Sunday and I just am enjoying it. No watch or anything and it's rather cool. I will see what comes with the day but I enjoy this so.
ReplyDeleteSo here it's 8 in the morning and I think that it's time to get on with it. Thanks and I hope that your Sunday is a good one. Sundays are those days that are just
something to enjoy and take in things in a relaxing manner. For me without a watch.
I am awaiting to see if there is a brunch to go too, and thereafter I am heading to the gym or this one place where there are sand dunes.
Amazing photographs so I am sure even more impressive actually being able to see it with your own eyes. How wonderful you were able to get inside and to take the pictures. Wow that would certainly be a view to behold from an office up there. Stunningly beautiful! Awesome memories you must have as well and being there would have naturally brought them up in your mind . How neat!
ReplyDeleteThanks this was the first weekend that it really started to get hot and it's been this way Cheryl it's around 80F right now and finally we have summer.
ReplyDeleteThanks as this was the best pictures I have ever taken of this city since I have had a camera. It was very nice within the morning.
