A couple of new Calgary panoramas

Here's a couple of new Calgary panoramas I took from Edworthy Park this afternoon.

I think the first one in particular shows the way the boom in the Beltline is expanding the skyline south.

Make sure you scroll -----------> all the way over.

Great work Chemist. One thing I really like about the Calgary thread is the good photographers we have.

You know, I really am a fan of those Point McKay apartments. They seem like an attractive representation of the style of the time they were built, and they go well with the surrounding greenery.

Fantastic shots!

Since you mentioned "zip" though, one of the excellent photographers needs to go up the 90m tower for the new zip-line ride at C.O.P. and get a near 360 degree view from up there

Thats exactly what I hoped they would do with the facility. I'm glad it's not being turned over to the private sector ala Holy Cross or blown up ala General Hospital...
