Downtown at night

Apologies for missing a day...life is a little busy right now!

This shot shows downtown Calgary on a summer's evening If I remember I'll try to take another one of the same view in the middle of winter when it's -30c - it looks a little different then! This is 9th Avenue (I think). Calgary is laid out on a grid system for the most part. All the avenues run East/West and all the streets run North/South.

  5. I have no idea how to shoot at night - your photo is so perfect - perspective is very grand - love those tall buildings - miss them a little in my small town!

  6. It gives the impression of being in a big city with its important, imposing office buildings
