Great fall colours right in the middle of the City. The North Saskatchewan river valley is fantastic. As North America's largest urban park system it's a fantastic amenity. #edmonton #yeg #mactaggart #landscape #nature #nikon #canada #localgem
A little hometown plug here, and the last photo I took of my city. Although the viewpoint known as the "End of the World", is now technically off-limits, many locals regularly ignore the no-tresspass signs - at risk of not only a steep fine, but also the steep drop. Once a retaining wall for a long-ago closed road, it's one of the most beautiful locations in Edmonton to view the changing colours of the river valley in the autumn. While I cannot actually suggest you go here, it's probably the worst-kept "secret" in town. #Edmonton #Alberta #Canada
