2015 September 26, Nuit Blanche finally comes to Edmonton. Here are some images from the first couple of hours of the all night arts celebration in and about Churchill Square.

Shortly after 7 PM the crowds start to gather in Churchill Square with the wish trees.

A early afternoon stroll in downtown Edmonton revealed a lot of natural and man-made beauty.

City Hall

Colorful Library Parkade Entrance

One of the things that most caught my eye was the progress on the Kelly Ramsay Tower construction. Especially impressive was seeing the unveiling of the historic facade at the base of the building.It seems they have done a great job in cleaning up the brickwork and restoring it to its former glory.

One of Edmonton’s iconic pyramids is atop Edmonton City Hall – but not today!

Well no, the pyramid is still there but here are a few photos which feature other aspects of the building (but you can see the pyramid in the first image):

Being late April we are between seasons as shown in the previous picture. The blue at the bottom is neither a skating rink now a fountain/wading pool.
