Dynamic Calgary

A few pictures I've taken over the last 6 months or so. Thought I'd throw them into a thread.

Very, very nice looking city. Canada has some incredible cities. I've never been to Calgary but would really like to visit.

Nice shots! Some different angles of familair places.

I also really liked that one of Bankers Hall with the light reflecting.

Can't wait for summer around here, either!

Great pictures. Those pictures make me want winter to be over with, even though it seemed like summer the last few weeks.

I have to say, this is definitely one of my favorite Calgary skyline shots. If you have a larger scale picture can you post it or PM it to me?

The camera was probably zoomed in. Also when you're up in the area where the picture was taken from, the mountains always seem to look bigger, especially close to sunset.

Yeah that one was getting tough to read, but one way to avoid that is just don't mention it.

BTW what is with those Cowboy hats, must be Stampede?
