Métropole dorée

One more skyline photo to round out this week’s series of posts featuring city views. This is of Montreal in the autumn, captured on my phone from the Olympic Stadium tower back in 2011.

Ville de ponts

Paris, city of light, city of love … and most practically, city of bridges. This is the Seine and her many spans, seen from the Eiffel Tower back in September 2012.

Verdant

Fox Hollow golf course in the foreground, Midfield trailer park above it and the City of Calgary’s ever-changing skyline behind it all. Snapped this image last week.

Sparkling prairie jewel

Here’s a view captured a few nights ago from one of my favourite lookouts in Calgary: the top of McHugh Bluff.

Clouds not nearly as mean as you ever seen

You can return to a place over and over, gazing out upon a familiar skyline framed by a familiar landscape … but capture it under a partly cloudy sky and you’ve got a scene you will likely never see again.
This is San Francisco, with lovely clouds courtesy Mother Nature, seen from Torpedo Wharf on a beautiful Saturday afternoon in November.

From one icon to another

This is what a southerly view looked like from Rockefeller Center in New York, upon my last visit there back in August 2011. More photos from that trip can be seen here.
