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."

Calgary Airport - International Terminal

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!

Recently, I was able to spend a little time at our excellent Zoo, and get a few nice portraits in.

Downtown Calgary in the evening, as seen from Tom Campbell Hill

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.
