Finally I have some pictures to put up here. I think colours and tone really represent winter in Edmonton. I took the picture above because of the weird pink sky (it was only 2pm). I finally went to one of the big parks with a frozen lake/pond for an afternoon of ice skating. The lake was surprisingly large with two islands to skate around. It took about five minutes for a lap if I skated fast, 10 minutes for slow. It's been a very, very long time since I went skating on a pond, it definitely requires more energy, concentration and balance than rink skating.
I loved skating there and I'm going to try to go more often. It was so peaceful.
The only downside was that the bus didn't stop for me on the way home. And, since the bus route runs every hour, I would freeze if I sat waiting there for the next one. So instead I had to trek up the hill and walk home in the cold. I composed my letter of complaint to the Transit
Commission in my head on the way.
