Around Edmonton

Thinking back to the time I was biking home across the High Level in early November of 2016. The bridge was lit up red for Remembrance Day. Towards the north side of the west path, my brain detected something red hiding in the red of the lights, and it turned out to be some kind of mid-century chair upholstered in some kind of red velvet-like cloth.

If I were asked to identify the best piece of public art in Edmonton, it would be "Wildlife". Yeah, as a geographer, I have a weakness for the topography on the sides of the Kathleen Andrews Transit Garage, but it's a very niche thing. But Wildlife just has a mood to it, and it fits so well into the streetscape. It gets better when the weather is nasty or night settles in.

It used to be two statues, but sadly its partner was destroyed by a negligent driver a few years back.
