Skaters enjoy the view of a giant Christmas tree and the surrounding cityscape at Olympic Plaza in downtown Calgary, earlier this month. Best wishes of the season to all!

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 heart of Calgary’s central business district during the blue hour, seen a few days ago. Clockwise from top right: The Bow office building, the double towers of the Suncor Energy Centre, Brookfield Place, Hanover Place (not one of the tall towers, however) and the under-construction Telus Sky.
Also: wide-angle lenses are fun.

The Bow Building in downtown Calgary seen from a different angle — from my point of view anyhow. Here it is from its east side, flanked by the old downtown fire hall on the left and the North-West Travellers Building on the right. Tucked in behind bottom left is the new Telus Sky building, which is much taller than it appears here!
