Late November in Edmonton and the days are short. By 5 pm the sun is setting. On the plus side, one can catch a gorgeous blue sky and sunset on your end-of-day commute.

Waiting for the snow that is. In most years Edmonton would by now have snow on the ground (the last of which wouldn’t disappear until sometime in April). This year though, we’ve been lucky and yesterday I was able to get out for a bike ride and capture a few photos of the valley landscape (mostly in Rundle and Dawson Parks).
Although the ground is not covered by snow the temperatures have been consistently below freezing for the last week or two. As a result, ponds (such as the one at Rundle Park) have developed a thin layer of ice (not enough for skating yet, but able to support the weight of a goose)

Another of the Rundle Park ponds has been drained for winter.
