This is a fundraiser for the Calgary Food Bank. All these sculptures, based on the theme of Dr Seuss, were made of non-perishable food items purchased by the competing teams. All the items will be sent to the Calgary Food Bank for distribution to those in need...
An evening view of Downtown Calgary's west end, with the Bow river running down the middle.
This shot isn't SOOC, but has had very little treatment. The color comes from playing around on the white balance settings, plus a nice golden sky to help out :-)
The last Calgary skyline shot for a while. I'm going to wait until the Bow is topped finished on the outside and the cranes are gone before doing any more.
This is one of four concrete cast lions, originally placed on the Centre Street bridge (just to the left, out-of-picture) in 1916. The four lions were fashioned first in clay individually, from which 5 plaster molds were made for each of the four. Amazingly, the work was done by a City of Calgary employee, James L Thomson. As a patriotic gesture, they were based on the famous lions in Trafalgar Square. They deteriorated with time, and the four lions currently on the bridge were made from a mold of the best of the original four in 2003. Now, only two of the originals are on public display after extensive renovation - the other is at City Hall.

I think this is Clematis virginiana, and there was a lot of it near the Calgary Stampede and Union Cemetery.

Calgary, Canada, looking beautiful in the snow today - a fun city.

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
Calgary sunrise over downtown, looking South from McHugh Bluff. Tempreatures on May 3 reached 28°C. Not a cloud in the sky on this wonderful morning. Calgary's 3 tallest buildings are on the left. Starting with the current tallest building, The Bow (57 floors, 774 ft), Suncor Energy Centre (53 floors, 705 ft) and the under construction and soon to be tallest Brookfield Place (56 floors, 810 ft). Also in the picture are the iconic Centre Street (left) , Prince's Island Pedestrian (centre) and Peace (right) Bridges crossing the Bow River.
