Scenic Sunday - View from on high.

Calgary cannot claim to be 
the most beautiful city in the world


but looking out from my high-rise office window


with the sunrise illuminating the city, 
the horizon shows the stark outlines 
of the newly-snowed-upon Rockies.


 - some mornings, we are treated to 
an array of pinks and golds, 
and all references to concrete can be forgiven.


Calgary sure does have a stunning backdrop!

  1. You're right, it does have a stunning view and as a gateway to the Rockies it has a wonderful location.
    I don't know if the kite I photographed was a juvenile; it was a cold day so he was fluffed up. He seems to be solitary and there is a pair that roosts in the same area so he may be last year’s offspring.

  3. I was thinking "Wow, Calgary can be gorgeous!" when I looked at the first three pictures, then the last one made me laugh.
