It is That Time Once Again

Tonight we set our clocks back one hour so I thought that this would be a nice photo for the occasion. Today was the kick off to River City Round Up. This is a week long festival that leads up to the Canadian Finals Rodeo later this week.
I Took this shot as I was waiting for the fireworks to start. I took some pictures of those but was really not happy with how they turned out. This clock dates back to about 1910 and was the clock on the old Edmonton Post Office. When it was torn down to make room for the Westin Hotel they did preserve the clock which still operates today. Tahe building behind it is the Mcleod Building. We had a fun night even though it was a little cool
Melody sat inside at a Second Cup and watched them while I was out taking pictures.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend everyone
They still do rodeo this late in the year? I didn't know that! Anyways, beautiful warm tones to this night shot (I love night shots) and thanks for the reminder to set my clocks back!

Great clock tower, don't have many over here, they are usually set into buildings!

nice pov on that clock, interesting information and great clock shot - the clock on the church tower that I keep taking is from the same date. I guess you haven't bought Melody a camera yet, then?
