Today was the last day of the conference and with a few papers being cancelled and the afternoon being devoted to talks on operating equipmnt I left at lunchtime and walked around town for a bit.
To start with I took pictures of the escalators at the "center".
I found the Churchill statue at the square and then went into the Art gallery of Alberta (AGA) which lives in this striking building at the side of Churchill Square. About half of the gallery space was being re-organised buu i did see some great Picasso pieces on loan from the national gallery of Canada as well as a range of local works and a few more modern pieces including a Warhol. Then another walk to find a barber and get a haircut before a wander around the shopping mall downtown.
Then back to the hotel and time to catch up on emails etc.
And finally a dinner in the revolving restaurant to mark the end of a pretty interesting and useful few days in Edmonton. Tomorrow it is back on the trail...
