All Quiet by bkbinthecity

All Quiet

After leaving the courthouse l decided to go for a stroll. I walked past City Hall. It is a quiet for a couple of reasons. First our January weather went from extreme cold to well above seasonal weather. As a result you can see the skating rink melting.
Secondly last week there was an incident inside City Hall involving a man firing a gun and tossing a Molotov Cocktail.
The man was caught and taken into police custody.
As a result of this the city has hired a security expert to analyze the security at City Hall to see what if any changes need to be made. So for now City Hall is closed to the public
That's a shame about the ice rink! And yes, big news about Edmonton City Hall. Sigh! I like your shot, though, Brian- interesting to see all the different shapes of the nearby buildings and lovely with the blue sky backdrop! Fav

I like the view. I see the melty ice. Too bad for the skaters. I like how, from your POV, the clock tower would have completely hidden the building behind it if it had been just a bit taller.

The ice does look rather watery but I guess they are still enjoying it. Shame about the violence. Seems to be a sign of the times we live in these days
