I think just about everyone in the blogosphere is twigging on to this, but I am simply amazed at the technology that allows me to click on to Google Maps, enter my street address and BAM!! There's my house pointed out on a purdy little satellite map.
That urban sprawl to the SE of my house is the NW section of the city of Edmonton. The body of water to the west of my house is 'Big Lake', which feeds the mighty Sturgeon River that wends its way in a north-easterly sort of direction through St. Albert. There are just oodles of beautifully paved trails that trace that same meandering thread all through my small city; many of which I'll be running and walking the baby and dog on this spring and summer.
The mosaic of farmland that surrounds my suburban island is quite beautiful from this vantage.
