It&#8217;s a city that has been very slow to make an impression. Between all the travel around southern Alberta and the desperate search for income, there hasn&#8217;t been energy left to discover this city with a most peculiar layout. But there is one thing I can say about Lethbridge is that when it shakes me out of my complacency it&#8217;s to stun me with a beautiful view.<\/p>\n<p>Such as that of Nicholas Sheran lake, just a couple of blocks from home. I love going for a stroll around it. The lake&#8217;s placement in the middle of suburbia is just so surreal that I&#8217;m always surprised that it&#8217;s so close by.<\/p>\n<p>Tonight I actually thought to bring my camera!<\/p>\n<div
