enjoyed your pictures ... have you always lived in the area ? ... what's life 'like' ... I've always wondered too - is the cold a dry cold ?

I was born in Edmonton, lived most of my life in and around. My husband and I have an acreage about 40 minutes east of the city. We prefer the slower pace of country life. Our children are grown now, so we have the peace of just our pets and 2 grandchildren
When it is cold, it is very dry. Summers are usually dry as well, tho we have had some "wet" ones over the years.
Alberta is a "rat race". Everyone is VERY busy all the time. The economy is more than booming, I can't recall it being like this since the 70's. We are desperate for people. The cost of living is not bad, and the wages are high. The best part is no PST, so that makes up for so much.
God's country...wouldn't live anywhere else! :roll:

Going to try to get some better ones next trip. I just wish the night shots were better. It is UNBELIEVABLE what you can see

No, these are in the Arctic...way, WAY north of them. Bout 1000 miles! In the summer time there are NO roads here at all..completely under water. These roads are built on frozen lakes & rivers to service the industries (mostly diamond & gold mines) & remote communities up there

My home is about 40 minutes away from Edmonton.
