So magical!
A snowy scene with frost-covered trees lining the area.
The ground is covered in thick snow, with small mounds visible.
Streetlights stand along the road, contrasting against the natural elements.

Really beautiful frost in Saskatoon!
This image depicts a serene winter scene with tall trees covered in frost, their branches stark and white against a vibrant blue sky. The frost creates a shimmering effect, highlighting the intricate details of the branches. Utility poles and wires run through the scene, adding an urban element to the natural beauty. The perspective, looking up, emphasizes the grandeur of the trees as they form an arch-like canopy over the street below. The overall atmosphere is calm and picturesque, evoking a cold yet bright winter day.

As we have documented in sociology, many draw symbolic boundaries, try to create distinctions & avoid exclusion by trying to pass in response to the stigmatization of whole groups. Individuals in tenuous situations may adopt majority opinions as a survival strategy. www.academia.edu/125869624/IM...

Aneroid, Saskatchewan. Named as such because a survey party lost their aneroid barometer somewhere near the current townsite. #Canada #Saskatchewan #Rurex
The Canada Pool grain elevator. It is weathered and in poor shape. There is a grain trailer parked behind it, and some telephone wires crossing through the frame. The 1915 Aneroid Public School. It is a two-story red brick building. It sits in a sizable field of green grass, and there is a partly overcast sky behind it.The 1926 Aneroid United Church. It is a red brick building with a steep pitched roof and a peaked bell tower. There is overgrown vegetation in front, and a partly cloudy sky behind.A nondescript building which may have been an automotive garage at some point. The building is grey and weathered, and there is a large yellow overhead door with dark hatching. There is a white five-tonne cube truck parked beside it.
