The Calgary City Hall (often called Historic City Hall or Old City Hall) is an iconic government building and one of the city's most significant landmarks in downtown Calgary. Constructed between 1907 and 1911, it is the oldest surviving city hall in Alberta.
The building is a prime example of the Richardsonian Romanesque architectural style and was built using Calgary's distinctive local Paskapoo sandstone, which gave Calgary its "Sandstone City" nickname. Its most notable feature is the central clock tower.
Although most municipal administration moved to the adjacent, modern Calgary Municipal Building (built in 1985), the historic City Hall building still houses the Office of the Mayor and City Councillors. It has been designated a National Historic Site of Canada for its heritage value.

Near Olympic Plaza in Calgary as well as on the main street in the downtown area, there were many colorful hanging flower baskets to brighten up the city.
Every night at the Calgary Stampede they end off the grand stand show with fireworks.
I have always wanted to shoot them and have never gotten around to doing it (and there was an intimidation factor :) ) So this was my chance.
I also wanted the Calgary skyline to be in the photo too.
