This is a piece of art called The Winner, which is installed along 8 Ave. S.W. between 7 and 8 St. in downtown Calgary. The image was edited in part with the iOS version of iPhoto, to add a tilt-shift style effect.

Samis Rd. just below Rotary Park is one of my favourite viewpoints for photographing downtown Calgary. Just one downside: The Calgary Tower isn’t visible from this angle.
I guess I’ll have to take another visit to Scotsman’s Hill instead. One of these days. 🙂

From what I can see, Santiago Calatrava’s pedestrian bridge in Calgary continues to draw non-commuting visitors, especially on weekends, in addition to folks who use the crossing in a functional manner.
Despite the controversial way in which the structure was acquired, I’m happy to see it being embraced by the community.

I often wonder if most people who use Calgary’s light rail system notice the art that exists intrinsically all around them.
Well, there are six Calgarians who most certainly do. Flickr friends and photographers (above, from left) James Tworow, Linda M. Cunningham, Nathalie Babineau-Griffiths, Wanda Martin and Dave King, along with Ian Proctor (not present), share their visual insights from the newly opened west leg of Calgary’s LRT system.
Their photo exhibition, One Place, Six Perspectives, demonstrates the innate artistic richness of Calgary’s newest C-Train stations, which stretch 8.2 km westward from downtown.
Swing by for a look and you, too, will see how transit can be more than just trains, buses, bricks and mortar.
One Place, Six Perspectives takes place on the walls of Pages Books in Kensington until the end of April.
P.S.: The group’s photos are also available for sale.
