I'm sure you'll have a great time

Let some of us guys know when you're here! Maybe we'll go grab a beer. We have forum meets every few months.

Two of the best Calgary views yet. And considering how many unflattering angles of The Bow we've seen, I'd say that's definitely among the better ones.

An oldie since the Plensa head and the plaza aren't yet finished.

Wow this angle shows how massive it truly is since you can see very clearly how much bigger it is than the Centre Street bridge if it were turned vertically.

Calgarian · #**5315** Posted **Apr 7, 2015, 4:10 AM**

The Bow is massive, but the other buildings in downtown are relatively small too, in many cases you have 3 or 4 towers on a single block.

Here's one we took of Calgary just last week from what I thought was an interesting view looking South from the very northern edge of development in the city.

Funny how the city just, ends there.

^^ Ya... The Bow is very Massive!! A great building but, hopefully no more Fatty's!

Poking around the Stock Aerial Photos website, I'm surprised to find this photo... I think it's one of the more famous Calgary skyline photos, the only source I ever found for it was someone at U of C.

OK, I think posting from Stock Aerial Photos/Peak Aerial might be cheating for this thread... there are just too many amazing photos! Big ups Prat and your team.

For all its' sprawl Calgary's unicity model definitely limits exurban growth. North of the city there is still Airdrie which is not in frame though.
