Scenic Sunday - Contrasts


Remember this picture from March? Overlooking downtown Calgary ...
Bleak, grey, colourless.


Look at it now ....
Hurray!


One more - the "Before" shot - bleached of life ...

And the "After" photo - born again!

Calgary has been rained upon for nearly three weeks solid - it is lush and green, vibrant and gorgeous.

But the rivers are really high, and fast flowing, and when the dogs go down to paddle, I nearly have a panic attack - 'cos I sure ain't jumping in to rescue them!

Have a great and super Scenic Sunday.

  1. Fantastic contrast of photos! Unbelievable! If it makes you feel any better, even here in Melbourne, Australia we are getting rain upon rain! It's a long time since I have seen so much day after day! And it's winter cold weather too!

  2. Beautiful pictures of a great City -- one we haven't visited for way too long. (When we did, it was in the "after" phrase.) Amazing what a little sunshine and rain can do isn't it?

Isn't it amazing how much fun it is to make contact with other likeminded, or not, people around the world. Just goes to show that we really are all alike in some way.
