I thought about posting these in the Calgary Construction thread, but they're not all construction and I wanted more people to see them. So here, without further ado, photos from Saturday.
I started out from the James Short Parkade (where I always park when I go downtown on weekends, considering it's only $2 and it's so close to Chinatown and just about everywhere else).
TCPL - still one of my favourite Calgary buildings:

Hope you all enjoyed. This will probably be my last Calgary photoset for quite some time, as I am off to Shanghai for at least one year on August 25th.
