War and Peace. by bkbinthecity

War and Peace.

Griesbach Village is a new development in Edmonton. When the military base shut down and moved to Garrison just north of Edmonton it left all of the old houses and buildings. So over the past few years this old army base has been transformed into a lovely place that many people now call home.
Lots of new homes and little manmade lakes such as this make for a wonderul place. So today before heading over to my Mom's for Thanksgiving dinner we took the time to go for a walk through this area
wow beautiful capture, and great to see they are still in use.

Thanks for sharing this positive story with us. It is nice to see that it isn't too-ordered and that there is a "natural" feel to the place. I should love to visit Canada but I don't think it will happen.
