Santa Maria

in photography •  7 years ago 

Yesterday I passed my daily hike by the river and visited West Edmonton Mall instead. I just visit a couple of stores and the step counter on my phone told me I made 4.5 km. But hiking is much cheaper, trust me.
I got some new clicks and here they are.

WEM is one of the biggest in the world. They anchored the whole pirate ship inside the mall.

You can even book the ship for a private party.

Another attraction is the sea lion's performance. Unfortunately, they had a day off at the time of my visit.

I saw the whale too and I couldn't catch it into one shot. It's too big.

Artificial plastic flowers everywhere. Better than ice and snow. There's still hope for spring to finally come.

They convinced us that the new Ice Age is not here yet.

The blue Lambo is gone. Apparently, it finds a new owner and here is a new one waiting.

I didn't buy a ticket. Again. But who needs a ticket. We have steem. The only thing we need is one more extra zero to the price. One little tiny zero. Did I just hear two?

Have a great weekend, my friends.

The old pirate ship was mesmerizing as well as the Lambo Wow.
Hmmn steem price at 20 dollars, yes please :)

Nice photography

I wish steem rate goes up soon. Everyone is waiting for it anxiously. And I believe that time will come soon when we see the price around $15 or more.
By the way you did a tremendous job by posting this awesome post. I never ever saw such a great combination specially in a Mall. You took the pictures and managed to express the main theme of this mall. Hiking is tough but as we know practice makes a man perfect. So from my side this post should be published in Trending section of steemit. All the best @oldtimer and Stay Blessed!

BEST CHOOSE
BEST THINKING

It looks great to see each picture. Very nice to see all those photos.

So nice trip brother @oldtimer, Thanks you very much for your sharing to us informative post, one day maybe i can visit your country, greeting friendship from me @abialfatih in aceh indonesia...

When I saw ships, remember Assasin's Creed :)

Ship looks great, but the Lambo says Win me

Well you sure are enjoying the hike buddy ;)

While the ship does reminds me of JACK SPARROW ;)

While the flowers does indeed looks so real ;)

I sure would love to get my hands on that LAMBO a true beautyyyyy ;)

@oldtimer awesome photography. 👍👍

That pirate ship looks much like the one used in Pirate of the Carribean and that lambo is beautuliful

Nice clicks, my girlfriend is in love with those roses but I am in love with the car.

very good post, I really like about posting @oldtimer.

Man you got a cool mall. I'd book every birthday on that pirate ship if I could 😂 and I wouldn't mind the lambo either

What an amazing mall... looks like Disneyland! Santa Maria is a "pirate ship" ha ha! A white Lamborghini... I guess they won't drive it in the snow because it will be invisible. Plastic flowers look real... they fooled me!

Very lovely photos. They look like our touristic pirate ships and now I understand why the call them "Pirate Ships". And yeah I think 2 Zeroes will do very good :)

A private party on a pirate ship in the mall - that is a party.

I concur with you - 2 more zeros on the Steem price is just right.

What must I say... Its very amazing pictures. You shoot very clearly. You have a natural insting to get the pictures is very very beautiful. The most I like is the Flower Pictures in your post. Thanks for sharing us @oldtimer. Vote you..please see my post too, maybe you can give a lesson to be like u. Thansk..

God Bless you.

very remarkable friend

I was just there for a dentist appointment on Wednesday.

Don’t go into the big mall much anymore. I moved out of the west end almost 5 years ago. It’s still a nice place to visit!

Good amazing story

Wow beautiful car

ha ha, + one zero this well. And if + two zeros-it will be just fine! So be it, Amen.
You have great pictures. The Mall looks Grand, like a real amusement Park.

Very nice,,

Apparently West Edmonton is no longer the largest mall in the world. Still in the top 25 though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_shopping_malls

a fun travel friend, all the place is very beautiful

Nice things for a shopping mall. But I still prefer real sea, ships and flowers. But lambo is real allright ;)

Hey, thanks for the shots. I like the pictures of the "Santa Maria" very nice construction and details. I think the creators put a lot of effort into this.

Greetings

Cool post + sweet pics! ♡ @amatchgirl

I’d go for two tiny 0s added to the price that’d be fun.

Fun photos!! Steem will go to the moon and give you those zeros soon!

I just wish i get to go here one day it looks really good and it puts a smile on my face

do they still have a submarine there? I's been ages since last time I went there.

Excellent post. Try using panoramic mode for wale?

You get a nice photo every day. This view is very beautiful.
