Decent first attempt. The higher the vantage point the better. Keep trying.

I was leaning to US Airways as well, it was heading east when I took the shots.

Actually one of my flickr contacts says it is probably a Northwest A330 painted in the new Delta colours, operating Seattle to Amsterdam. That would make a lot of sense.

That's a great shot Bigtime. You're right, it does have a bit of everything.

Photograph Requests!

Hey there guys, I have a couple photo requests if someone has a bit of time to snap some for me. I need a few orthagonal (straight on from across the street) and some diagonal views of the first few floors of:

- The Opus 8 Building at 8th ave and 5th street
- Colours
- Hotel Arts commercial - preferably the starbucks corner
- The Homburg Harris at 9th ave and 1st street (preferably where there is retail already like at "Rush" Restaurant or whatever is there
- The Fiasco Gelato on 17th avenue

Any or all would be fantastic! Thanks!

Took this shot whilst waiting around to score a new lens from a Kijiji seller. I liked how reflection looks like transparency.

Great shot Ramsayfarian!

My wife's grandparents live in that building, they have a southwest corner unit on the 14th floor. Very awesome views of the entire river valley!

Fiasco isn't Fiasco anymore, at least on 17th. Wok Box. Goodfoot is still upstairs tho.

I was just looking at your thread, and I thought this video I took a while back might appeal... enjoy! The Calgary airport.

Nice shots Bigtime. When I saw that sky the other day, I knew someone here would be taking a few shots of it. I wanted to, but couldn't get away.

^Nice shots Bigtime. The sky was beautiful Wednesday evening. I was out taking shots, but in the opposite direction. You can see that same colored sky reflecting off Bankers Hall.
