Waiting for the train

When the weather is as nice as it has been this week I like to make a stop on the way to work at a park overlooking the river valley. I will read my paper while enjoying a muffin and of course take a few pictures.
This is the Dudley Menzies LRT Bridge that connects the University of Alberta to The Legislative Grounds.
So I figured I would go over and wait for a train to pass by. Early in the morning I do not have to wait very long as they leave and arrive at stations every 5 minutes. The buildings in the distance make up a large part of the university campus
