Jasper Avenue that is – Edmonton’s historical main street.

Last Saturday afternoon (2016 March 26) I took my camera (with wide angle lens) and focused on some of the buildings. How many times have I been up and down that street without slowing down to look. Here is some of what I saw between 109th and 96th Streets:

Wandering Jasper Avenue

Sometimes I like to just walk in my city and see what I can see (and with my camera in-hand, to capture and share images of what is to be seen). So it was on Saturday afternoon (2016 February 27). I walked Jasper Avenue from 96 Street to 116 Street, but in this blog post I will focus on a short section of that trek.

It was on the few blocks east of 109 Street that my eye was particularly active, seeing things of interest in some of the buildings old and new:
