More snow for Calgary this past weekend! It’s sunny today but if the forecasts are to be believed, there will be more snow by the end of the week …

Kananaskis, Alberta, Canada

Thinking of warmer weather today … so here’s a snapshot from an early summer hike about 10 years ago in Kananaskis Country, just west of Calgary.

A welcoming message at 1136, 8 Ave. S.W., Calgary. Snapped in late 2016 … but I recall seeing this the last time I walked by.

Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Let’s wind back the clock a decade and visit with this skyline of Calgary from January 2008, seen from the bridge connecting Inglewood to the zoo. The city has changed so much in 10 years. No only are there a few more skyscrapers in the middle and toward the left of this scene, the bridge I stood on to take this photo has since been taken apart and replaced.

This piece of functional public art near Eau Claire Market in Calgary has been around for a long as I can remember. Snapped this just after last week’s big snowfall.
