Wow, those are pretty spectacular. Just wondering though which building is represented between the husky towers and EAP with the multi-coloured glazing.

I wasn't referring to H2O but the shorter, orange building right of it.

Ahh, that's Gulf Canada Square. It's just the way the light is hitting it to make it look it little different. You can see it in the original picture.

Amazing how much lighting conditions can change the appearance of a building.

It's actually Encor Place. (Gulf Canada Square is barely visible between Union Square and Colours)

The Sprint Center was Innersoul's idea! I think it's a sharp looking arena. I'm just assuming a new stadium would go there, I don't think the Big 4 building site would be enough room?

Ahh, that makes much more sense. Good catch!

So I'm sure there are some developments I'm missing, some are up in the air about the future, and some are rumoured to be coming back again. Most of the biggies and more significant downtown projects are in, including what I hope is the winning pedestrian bridge in the bottom of the picture.

I didn't intend to make a Spring>Summer>Fall>Winter picture, but I started off with one image, and kept merging more and more together. It just so happened the best angles I wanted were in a different season. They say in Calgary, if you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes. So perhaps this picture isn't THAT much of a stretch. Enjoy.

Picture by me.
