A beautiful winter morning in Calgary
There is nothing better than getting out and exploring the city, town, area that you live in. Actually it can become quite fun and you never really know what you are going to find, experience or see.
Last winter I’m sure that many people thought that we were stupid getting up early on Saturday and Sunday mornings to go for walks along Calgary’s many river paths, but when you get the opportunity to witness, to photograph and to enjoy unspoilt scenes like the one above.. it makes it oh so worth while.
With the many pathways and parks along the river and the quietness of the weekend downtown core.. it’s hard not to feel like you are a million miles away from the hussell and bussell of the city. Another thing that I love about Calgary – That city feel that isn’t quite city.
Explore your neighbourhoods and the ones next door. Check out the local diners, the local cafe’s and of course the local pubs. Find out what makes this city, your city beat and what makes you fall in love with it everyday.
Challenge yourself to see as much of it as you can. To enjoy every tiny detail and to search out those hidden secrets that no-one, absolutely no-one knows about and share them with the people you love and care about.
If I could take my little pieces of ‘Calgary’ home with me.. one would be the place in the picture above. The quite little Island park between the Bow and Elbow Rivers. A park that is not frequently visited, but more likely to be home to the homeless. A park that has its own peaceful stunning views of downtown Calgary and the iconic Calgary Tower. It’s own suspension bridge that makes it seem so much more unique and special.
The other.. well that’s a secret…..
