The low(ish) morning sun lights up the clouds and the skyscrapers looming over Prince’s Island Park in Calgary, as seen about 10 days ago, when it was feeling a little more like spring than winter.

I almost walked past this neat photo opportunity on the Bow River Pathway in Calgary last week — an unexpected break in the trees giving a clear view of the river, the Centre Street Bridge and the city centre. It pays not to be in a rush, if at all possible!

The sun slowly sinks behind the clouds and the Calgary skyline, as seen last weekend from one of the city’s iconic viewpoints.

From last fall, a rewarding view of downtown Calgary from the upper section of Edworthy Park in Wildwood. I could have got there the easy way, by driving over and parking in the lot by the dog run. Instead, I took the bus to the Parkdale side of the park for a nice afternoon urban hike.
