Although the COVID-19 pandemic put practically all of the Calgary Stampede’s activities on hold this year, the organization put on a fireworks display on what would have been the first and last days of the fair/rodeo.
Here was the view from Scotsman’s Hill in Ramsay on the night of the second show on Sunday, July 12, 2020.

One among the thousands of Calgarians who flocked to Olympic Plaza on New Year’s Eve, this little boy was sitting on his father’s shoulders for a better view of the Calgary Tower fireworks display.
Happy new year to you and yours!

I’ll let this electronic sign do the talking! It was set up for Canada Day 2018 on the Centre Street Bridge in Calgary. The area around this Bow River crossing is used as a launch site for the annual fireworks display capping off a day of celebrations. The final few seconds of last year’s pyrotechnic show are shown below.

Sometimes, you have to improvise. Here, my rain jacket acts as a bean bag and the lens hood is repurposed to prop up my camera as I shoot last night’s fireworks at the Calgary Stampede. Below, one of the resulting photos.
