The Calgary Tower is home to the highest 360° observation deck in the world. On the Observation Deck you'll experience a spectacular 360° view of the bustling city, the majestic Rocky Mountains, the foothills, and the prairies.
Calgary evening skyline. The same angle as the previous pic, but later in the evening just as the sun was going down.

From 1970 to 1990, Calgary witnessed a major expansion of skyscraper and high-rise construction, many of the city's office towers were completed during this period. A ten-year silence in building construction came after that expansion, though Calgary experienced a larger second building expansion beginning in the late 90s and continuing into the present.
Currently, the city has height restrictions that prevent any building from casting a shadow over the Bow River and the city hall, however, winter months are excluded from this limit. There is no other imposed limits elsewhere in the city, which could allow for some extremely tall buildings.
Sorry....no time for commenting at the moment, my mam is very ill.
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.
Well it's the last day of Stampede, and the final fireworks show was supposed to cap off the night. Nature's fireworks are much more amazing and entertaining though. This isn't doctored either.

Something a little different from my usual stuff, today. Last stop on our adventure in summer was a short visit in Calgary. As we took our walk in downtown, I snapped a few shots..

As described in the 1911 edition of Encyclopedia Brittanica
"CALGARY, the oldest city in the province of Alberta Po (1901) 4091; (1907) 21,112. It is situated on the Bow River, which flows with its crystal water from the pass in the Rocky Mountains, by which the Canadian Pacific railway crosses the Rocky Mountains ... The streets are wide and laid out on a rectangular system. The buildings are largely of stone, the building stone being used is Brown Laramie sandstone found in the valley of the Bow River in the neighbourhood of the city. Calgary is an important point on the Canadian Pacific railway, which has a general superintendent resident here. It is an important centre of of wholesale dealers, and also of industrial establishments. Calgary is near the site of Fort La Jonquiere founded by the french in 1752. Old Bow fort was a trading post for many years though now in ruins. The present city was created by the building of the Canadian Pacific railway about 1883."
The fort is now restored, the Railway has now located its Head office to Calgary and the population is approaching 1,000,000
