The skies were clear, but it didn't get much above 4°C today. Still, blue makes a nice backdrop for some scenes from a quick visit to downtown Calgary we made today.
While Larry was snowshoeing around the West Bragg Creek area, I was on a photowalk in downtown Calgary, nursing a sore knee. These are some of the interesting buildings I noticed
Connecting the vibrant East Village and the emerging Victoria Park neighbourhood, the Corridor of Connection is a colourful mural along the 4th Street SE underpass. Calgary artist Michelle Hoogveld painted for seven weeks, using 70 gallons of paint, to create this 950 foot mural along both sides of the underpass.

L'escultura Wonderland és una de les peces d'art públic més destacades i fotografiades al centre de Calgary, Canadà .
Artista i Ubicació: Va ser creada per l'escultor català de renom internacional Jaume Plensa i es va instal·lar el 2013 a la plaça d'accés de l'edifici The Bow, un dels gratacels més alts de la ciutat.
Disseny: És un retrat gegantà del cap d'una nena jove, fet de malla de filferro d'acer inoxidable pintat. L'escultura fa aproximadament 12 metres (39 peus) d'alçada.
Significat i Interacció: L'obra vol simbolitzar el potencial humà i el cap com el "palau dels nostres somnis". La caracterÃstica més singular és que la seva estructura és transparant i interactiva: els visitants poden entrar-hi a través d'una obertura al coll per veure la ciutat des de dins.

I think this is Before the Peace Bridge was Constructed
Calgary skyline early in the morning. The sky was awesome and I had my camera handy. Too bad I didn't have my tripod though.
The picture isn't as sharp as I'd like and the high ISO made it grainy, but the content is good.
This is facing east from the Cochrane, Alberta area at sunset. The orange glow is from the city lights in Calgary.
A few weeks ago (the night of the Canada-US gold medal hockey) my wife, several friends, and I were in Calgary overnighting to take in the game in advance of ski trip to Kicking Horse and Revelstoke.
We used the Priceline iPhone app to book a room at the Marriott downtown for a comically low price, and the hotel happened to be across the street from the iconic Calgary Tower.
The day we had in Calgary was sunny and cloudless - perfect conditions for a cheesy hipstamatic shot of the tower - enjoy!
From a recent stroll along the Glenmore Reservoir. A golf course used to go right to the water's edge here, but the City reclaimed a small slice so that the public could enjoy this stretch of water as well.
Wishing my Flickr friends and followers a very Merry Christmas! Thank you for your faves, visits and comments. I appreciate your support.
