My brother @garrettpich and I visited the Art Gallery of Alberta (AGA) [part 2] this past Tuesday - Which was ‘Pay what you May' suggested donation $5 to help support AGA programming, exhibitions and operations. • This breathtaking art gallery occupies a 8,000 square metres (86,000 sq ft) building at Churchill Square in downtown Edmonton. Randall Stout, the architect chosen to design the AGA building, took inspiration from the city’s unique northern environment and urban grid. Stout juxtaposed angular windows against a winding 190-metre steel ribbon that references the forms of the North Saskatchewan River and Aurora Borealis. The building is itself a work of art that complements the exhibitions. @youraga 2 Sir Winston Churchill Square, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

Rollercoasters and more at West Edmonton Mall’s Galaxyland, which is soon to undergo Hasbro-themed makeover. The licensing agreement between WEM (West Edmonton Mall) and the U.S. toy and entertainment company, was announced last month. More than 25 rides, games and attractions will be re-designed with familiar Hasbro brands, including My Little Pony, Monopoly, G.I. Joe, Nerf, Play-Doh, Battleship, and Operation. The plans include a Hasbro retail space and themed food service establishments. Construction on the 165,000-square-foot space is already underway, and the park will remain operational throughout the process. “Galaxyland powered by Hasbro” will be official by winter 2020. West Edmonton Mall’s most recently added ride back in 2018 is called Havoc. Banks of seats dangle from long arms laden with 2,000 flashing LED lights. An overhead beam lifts up the spinning arms and eventually tilts upward, tipping the riders upside down, and, at one point, leaving them to dangle for a second, hair streaming down. (pictured here on left). The Mindbender is an Anton Schwarzkopf looping roller coaster at Galaxyland Amusement Park. It is the largest indoor triple-looping roller coaster in the world.

Beach, Chinese Food & a Churchill in Puntarenas, Costa Rica. I must confess, this vampire just walked past the beach. When in Costa Rica you must try a Churchill, Copos or Granizados, as they are commonly known, evolved into the “Churchill” in Puntarenas province in Costa Rica. According to popular legend, in the 1940s, a shopkeeper in Puntarenas became known at local restaurants and food stalls for always requesting the same concoction of shaved ice, syrup, condensed milk and ice cream. The locals thought the shopkeeper looked like British then-Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and started calling his frosty beverage a Churchill.

Wellpark Mid-Kirk Church is known affectionately as ‘The Toon Kirk’, it is a handsome classical church with an Ionic portico and steeple modelled on St Martin-in-the-Fields. The design for the façade was supplied by Lord Cathcart (apparently obtained in Bristol), the designer of the body of the church was apparently James Ewing. The church was built in 1760, the 146 foot high steeple was added in 1787. The building was refurbished in 1878 and restored in 2000. 6 Cathcart Square, Greenock, Scotland.

Canada Day in Wascana Park, On the grounds of the Saskatchewan Legislative Building. Wascana Park moved some of its planned Canada Day activities, due to the Justice for Our Stolen Children protest. The camp started shortly after the February acquittals of Gerald Stanley and Raymond Cormier in the Colten Boushie and Tina Fontaine murder trials, respectively. Camp founders said the intention was to draw attention to Indigenous lives lost or affected due to factors like violence, foster care or addiction. Police shut down the camp last week and arrested some protesters. Campers have since returned, and what was once a camp of a single teepee has grown to nine teepees. We went for a walk here today, when I took these Photos and all was peaceful and Canada Day Festivities were happening.
