- A nightscape scene of Edmonton. The vantage point seems to be from the opposite bank of the North Saskatchewan river. The downtown area of Edmonton is an array of skyscraper and buildings lit up and stretching across the print. The legislative buildings are visible at the left of the print. Tall, silhouetted evergreen trees are positioned in both lower corners of the prints. Smaller trees extend across the print at its bottom. The entire print is quite dark with the exception of the lighted buildings.
