Exposed

Demolition is underway at the old Calgary Herald building site on 7 Ave. and 1 St. S.W. It’s to make way for a new building whose planned height would best The Bow by several metres, which would make it the tallest office tower in western Canada.

Classic sunset

A sunset photo seemed an appropriate image to post today, as the sun sets on the year 2012.
I wish you all a very happy and healthy 2013.
