One of several sets of cast Olympic rings surrounding the ice rink at Olympic Plaza in downtown Calgary, Alberta Canada. The plaza marks the site of the closing ceremonies of the 1988 Winter Olympics. A single skater circles the rink in the background.

NOTE TO VIEWERS: My DSLR camera seems to be broken (constant error message, no other functions), so I might not be posting any new photos for a while. I have more than a few old shots in my archives - some of these may soon appear in my photostream.
Calgary and one of his skyscrapes. Wonder if they are office...
How are you all? Sorry for absence. This covid situation is not easy to manage, but I'm fine. Are you all ok?... And the stress for this election days by you?
I'm curious, are you with Trump or against? ;)
I post 3 photos more of Canada but urge to post new photos I know.
See you soon! Pass by you
A big embrace

Another shot from my lovely downtown Calgary photographic adventure of a week ago, here you can see one of the many lovely parks that dot basically the entire city.
It is one of those things that make Calgary such a lovely city, the fact that they are always taking nature into account and making sure to include natural spaces even in the urban downtown core!
Here you can see the clouds just starting to be illuminated by the soon-to-come sunset, set against a deep magic hour sky.
Hope you have all had a great week, and wishing everyone a wonderful weekend ahead!

The river seen here is called the Bow River.
We stayed at the Delta Hotel.
Telus is one of Canada's Big Three telephone, internet and mobile phone providers.
The circular building is The Bow, at 58 floors it was Calgary's tallest office building when completed.
In a distance behind The Bow is Calgary Tower.
Happy Fenced Friday! This is near our fabulous Calgary Zoo - from the pathway west towards Tom Campbell Hill Natural Area, with its glorious views.
Downtown as seen from the top floor (12th) of the Hotel Arts in Calgary. I set the camera on the railing for a 5 second exposure.
Early morning shot of the Calgary skyline. I had my camera with me yesterday and saw the moon above the skyline and stopped to take s hot.
It’s been ages since I have taken Calgary Skyline with the Saddledome in the foreground from this vantage point. If my memory served me right, it may have been during the days when I was still shooting film. Since then, Calgary has grown dramatically-several buildings sprawling like mushrooms. I am not entirely sure what to make with it-I still like the old Calgary where it has the Bankers Hall, Calgary Tower & Petrocanada buildings are the prominent one in the horizon. I took several shots from this area and I thought I should post this image first. You maybe wonder why I didn’t bother cropping the foreground to make it cleaner. But that’s exactly what I wanted to show from this image. I wanted to capture the Industrial portion of the East side of the river. At the same time I wanted to be a little creative by showing the two lighting post strategically within the Rule of Thirds.
This is a 3 images blended! I have one exposure of the sky, the buildings & several important highlights (Saddledome sign, Calgary Tower) that I wanted to keep within the acceptable level. Overall, I am quite happy with the results and worth the effort freezing my fingers & toe waiting for an hour to get the perfect lighting condition.
