In and Around the Alberta Legislature Building

Today I enjoyed a nice walk on 108th Street in Edmonton to the Alberta Legislature building. Here are some pictures of the building, a look inside the rotunda, and some of the sculptures near there.

  1. I understand they made a cake in the shape of the legislature one time when the Queen was visiting. Imagine.

  2. What a fascinating walk — and what a beautiful building! How fun too to see you being “judgmental.” You are hilarious! 🙂

    • LOL. The are guarding the door to the chamber where all the important stuff happens to keep out the riffraff. I watched the ceremonial mace being carried in there just as I arrived. I didn’t ask if I could go in, and I didn’t ask if they were single. 🙂
