Too far to walk, Pot smoking bongo players are lazy so they stick to Prince's Island and Tompkins park lol. Plus the latter is closer to munchies, Nose Hill is kinda isolated.

Nice. Sometimes understated skyscraper lighting schemes are better.

As far as CBD skyline goes, Calgary is pretty much on par with Toronto. (Yes TO is still on top with density and height.) Great Calgary shot.
