Shifting skyline

alberta, calgary, canada, skyline, urban

It just occurred to me the Calgary skyline poster at the top of this blog will soon need overhauling. Since I snapped that photo almost three years ago now, a truckload of new buildings have popped up in the core, including a couple that are still under construction. In fact, there are so many new buildings this city’s office vacancy rate is expected to soar in the coming years.
Anyway … time to hoof it to that parking lot on the east side of Nose Hill Park for a refresh, don’t you say?

Got bored while stuck in traffic on Hwy. 1 near Golden, B.C., so I had some time to fool around with the camera. With some help from Mom, I found this interesting point of view as a result:

It’s an interesting concept to put a dollar figure on a tree …

Let’s just say … I’m not accustomed to seeing construction sites busy at 10 p.m. on a Sunday.
Burning the midnight oil with sparks
These guys were working on 3 St. between the old Holt Renfrew building and Eaton Centre.

Apparently, we live and breathe men’s hockey. These guys are two of thousands of very happy Calgarians who spilled out onto 17 Ave. S.W. Sunday afternoon after Team Canada defeated Team USA in overtime, winning the game 3-2 and scoring this country’s 14th gold medal of the Winter Olympics in Vancouver.

Woo hoo!

And here’s a happy gal stuck in traffic. She doesn’t seem to mind.

We're No. 1
