The Scotiabank Saddledome is the primary indoor arena of Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Located on the Stampede Grounds, on the east end of downtown Calgary, the Saddledome was built in 1983 to replace the Stampede Corral as the home of the Calgary Flames of the National Hockey League, and to host ice hockey and figure skating at the 1988 Winter Olympics. Today the arena is also home to the Calgary Hitmen of the Western Hockey League and the Calgary Roughnecks of the National Lacrosse League.
Calgary's Eighth Avenue Place tower is just about finished construction.
The 51 storey Eighth Avenue Place started construction without having signed any tenants. The developer built during a downturn in order to have cheaper construction costs. Many thought the builders were crazy, but they have 80% of the building leased, so the gamble seems to have worked.
I have named this house the UP house after the film, looks so similar, and is slowly vanishing behind tower blocks and buildings, originally this was the Enoch Sales house and all along this road there were many such houses, this one is going to be part of a park I believe.
Since this was the first time we'd visited Calgary/Banff, we stayed the first evening at a hotel near the Calgary Airport. There was a lovely sunset - and true to form, the only colorful sunset to be had on our trip.
Happy Whimsical Wednesday!

Busy busy week, wow!
I am glad I finally a bit of free time to upload another image!
Here is another shot from my downtown Calgary adventure of a couple Fridays ago; I loved the contrast not just of colours but of textures and materials for these two soaring skyscraperrs, they looked very cool standing tall side by side!
Hope you are all having an awesome week, my friends; we have been getting blizzards and crazy amounts of snow all week!
I am hoping Spring comes sometime soon!
West Coast Motors Solo YJ62 FNK at the Calgary terminus of route 494 on the Isle of Mull on 11 May 2017. It had just arrived on the 1000 494 from Tobermory and would return at 1100. As can be glimpsed in the background the beach at Calgary is delightful. The bus is operated by Dervaig outstation.
It was a cold minus 12 degree C kind of walk, to the Remembrance day ceremony at the park but worth every step to see so many people there.
there are now fewer sheets of ice floating down the Bow River through Calgary, although there's plenty of ice along the banks. i'm now reminded of what a beautiful city Calgary is, now that I can actually go out and walk around in it. this long-exposure captures some of that beauty oriented around the iconic Peace Bridge.

No tripod, so not the sharpest quality, but couldn't pass up an opportunity of such a nice evening sky.
