Edmonton, Alberta, Canada in Winter

Edmonton (IPA: /ˈɛdmɪnˌtɪn/) is the capital of the Canadian province of Alberta. The city is located on the North Saskatchewan River in the central region of the province, an area with some of the most fertile farmland on the prairies. It is the second largest city in Alberta after Calgary, with a population of 730,372 (2006),[1] and is the hub of Canada's sixth largest census metropolitan area, with a metropolitan population of 1,034,945 (2006[2]), making it the northernmost North American city with a metropolitan population over one million.

At 684 square kilometres (264 sq mi), the City of Edmonton covers an area larger than Chicago, Philadelphia, Toronto or Montreal. Edmonton has one of the lowest population densities in North America, about 9.4% that of New York City. A resident of Edmonton is known as an Edmontonian.

Edmonton serves as the northern anchor of the Calgary-Edmonton Corridor (one of four regions that together comprise 50% of Canada's population) and is a staging point for large-scale oil sands projects occurring in northern Alberta and large-scale diamond mining operations in the Northwest Territories.

Edmonton is Canada's second most populous provincial capital (after Toronto) and is a cultural, government and educational centre. It plays host to a year round slate of world-class festivals, earning it the title of "The Festival City".[3] It is home to North America's largest mall and Canada's largest historic park. In 2004, Edmonton celebrated the centennial of its incorporation as a city.

The near total lack of people appearing in the photographs in this slideshow movie evoke a sense of wintery solitude to complement the Vivaldi score. I enjoyed this. I haven't been to my hometown, Edmonton, since I was a kid. Looks kind of alien to me. The apartment buildings bring to mind soviet style public housing blocks.

@San94Andreas "Our problems are like are luggage. They follow us wherever we go." Miserable people are miserable no matter where they live.

@WTLover81 I wouldn't be sure where, just not Edmonton.

[WTLover81]

@Flightkid9 Well, where would you suggest I live? I refuse to stay in Vancouver.

[Flightkid9]

@WTLover81 For your own good, don't. I live in Edmonton and it sucks, murder capital of Canada, -40 winters, the absolute worst roads especially in winter because they also have the worst plowing, the drivers are also terrible and there isn't much to do at all, even with the largest mall in North America, it's really overrated.

[WTLover81]

I'm moving there ASAP. I'm just about through with Vancouver.
