Miscellaneous 2002 Outdoors Pictures

Showing a very dry early summer (this is around June 16)

A bit later, around June 24 - close to the longest day

Watching the sun set at its northernmost point (around June 24)

This is the setting sun in the south-eastern corner of my living room (June 24)

Unfortunately, some people decided that the hot dry summer would be a fine time to start fires in the river valley and various creek ravines. There were over a half-dozen started this year. One, to the east of my place in the Mill Creek area, did quite a bit of damage.

A fire near the entrance to the eastern part of Queen Elizabeth Park (around June 24)

This shows the damage from the fire - not really that much

This is the old Queen Elizabeth pool - one of the two original outdoor pools in Edmonton. After this shot, the near fence was moved out to enclose the grassy area. Three or so years later, a large crack formed in the pool, and it has been closed.

Another fire, the next day or so. This one is to the west, just past the High Level Bridge
