Station #2



Pacific Central
This may be somewhat over-exposed but I haven't been back to take another crack at it.



By the way:


I'm enjoying reading this book. It offers practical advice to creating better images.
David duChemin lives in Vancouver. I haven't met him.
I also have his book Vision Mongers but haven't got into that yet.

Station #1

Pacific Central
The station recently underwent what seemed like a fairly major sprucing up.
This was always the Canadian National station.
Years after VIA Rail took over passenger train service from CN it was decided that the combination train station/bus terminal had to have a new name.
'Pacific Central' grates on me a bit but we're stuck with it.

Western Canada In No Particular Order

In fact they're backward. Time is tight so I'm quickly downloading a few photos while I have wifi in Jasper. This will be the last chance to stretch our legs until Vancouver. I think these are power plants. 


Sunrise just west of Edmonton. The sun doesn't come up until just after 0800. 


A nicely maintained station in Portage La Prairie. It isn't used by the railway.
