I was recently on a Neil Zeller photo tour of the city. A visit up the Calgary Tower was an upexpected and nice perk! I hadn't been up in many years and the views were pretty good for a cloudy day.

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.

After hours of rain the rodeo show started. It was a battle of mud. Impressive experience although from my point of view this kind of horse sport could be criticised.
Nach stundenlangem Regen am Morgen war die große Rodeo eine einzige Schlammschlacht. Eine durchaus beeindruckende Veranstaltung, obwohl ich diese Form von Pferdesport eher kritisch sehe.
