Where it all began

Well today's word is birthday. So I decided that why not stop off on my way home and snap a shot of the hospital where I was born. The Royal Alexandra Hospital has gone through a number of changes since Dec. 1962. A few additions have been built and some renovations to soe of the older sections have been done. Now the latest change is on the outside as a new station is being added as they expand the Light Rail Transit system here in Edmonton
Great pov

Nice shot for your project. You can see the additions that you mentioned. I am most impressed by the transit system they are adding.

Great shot Brian! Nice to get a shot of this. So you're biting the big one this year!!
November 13th, 2012  
Love your POV.
November 13th, 2012  
That is one huge hospital, Brian! Good idea for the November list. I'm going to have to check that out.

you didn't settle far from where you were born! (either did I) isn't it so nice to have your roots deep and settled?

What a great idea for the theme today! I wonder if you feel lucky to have stayed somewhat in the same place? I am missing that kind of consistency in my "history" - sometimes it makes for bittersweet kind of feelings, as when you move, you so often leave much behind. . .

Wonderful idea for the challenge Brian.

What a great shot for the theme, Brian. So, you stayed close to where you were born. I am 100 miles away and sometimes wish we would have stayed in the area my husband and I were both born.

Nice take on the themed word.
November 13th, 2012

Interesting stuff - enjoyed it. Thanks.

What an interesting shot and info! I always point out to the kids where they were born, one in UK and one in Beirut...and they love it.

@vickisfotos I do love Edmonton and I really can't imagine living anywhere else
November 14th, 2012  
@lyno I really am glad that I have lived my whole life in Edmonton. I feel it gives a person a stronger appreciation for the place they call home when you have seen all of the changes that have taken place over the years

Nice birthday shot! If birthday had fallen on the 13th or 17th I would have had a great reason to do a birthday shot. But since it was on the 12th I opted for a sub. You, on the other hand, found a very creative way to accomplish the shot!
