A picture postcard view of the Legistature Building in Edmonton, Alberta. For a prairie boy such as myself, this building represents the seat of governmental power. Saskatchewan and Manitoba have legislature buildings of similar design, except larger.
The overall design, I am told, is Beaux-Arts, which originated from an architectural school in France at the beginning of the 20th Century. For a time, I lived a couple of blocks away from this building and its beautiful park-like grounds. My recent revisit to Edmonton allowed me the chance to take this definitive winter photograph.
