Calgary Peace Bridge 3

Mark Lewis

Took this while out with one of my photography meetup groups. Thought I'd get a few of them also getting shots of, and from, the bridge.

Buskers abound

Mark Lewis

Buskers can plant themselves anywhere downtown. Where is there a better chance at a few dollars than in the financial district?

Whatever it takes

Mark Lewis

Calgary isn't a large city (1.2M) and we have a long winter so we don't see the number of street people that other cities have. Life is tough for those that are here.

On the move

Mark Lewis

Calgary is built for exercise. We have miles and miles of paths specifically for biking, walking, jogging. Consequently you'll see a lot of people on the move, all the time.

Here's my little girl Kayla. She's 8 years old and one of the loves of my life. She is a mixed breed rescue and one of the best dogs I've ever owned.

This is my little girl Maya. She's 6 year old (already!!!). She's one of the loves of my life. She's a mixed breed rescue (Husky/Shepherd) and has all the personality anyone could hope for.

Taken with my iPhone because that's all I had with me. A very cold November day with a lot of ice fog in the air.

Sunrise in Downtown Calgary

Mark Lewis

Taken from the 16th floor of another building. It was a real challenge to eliminate indoor reflections as it was taken through a window, behind a blind, with a jacket over my head and camera.

Calgary Downtown Art

Mark Lewis

Although this is art in Downtown Calgary, I've recently learned it has a practical purpose, too. There is a very strong venturi effect between the buildings and this sculpture is actually designed to break up the winds and keep it from blowing out windows.

River Rafting in Calgary

Mark Lewis

It was a very hot summer day and a lot of people enjoyed being on or near the Bow River.

Another perspective of the Calgary Peace Bridge. Bicycles in the middle, people on each side. Great design.

Mormon Temple at Sunset

Mark Lewis

I happened to be driving by looking for something to put this gorgeous sunset into perspective. The new Mormon Temple in NW Calgary is an impressive architectural work anyway so I got the two together.

The Bow Building in downtown Calgary

Mark Lewis

This is the Bow Building in Calgary. Recent, and currently the tallest building in town. That's a very large wire sculpture of a human head in the foreground.

Calgary Peace Bridge 2

Here's a perspective I haven't seen anywhere else. This bridge has been photographed so much that it's a challenge to do something different.

Winter at the Dog Park

Mark Lewis

I take my dogs out every day and I've been taking my camera with me. I came across this scene and had to hurry to get it before the dogs ran into it to see what was so interesting.
