Everyone has the right to an opinion and you have the right to yours even if it is ignorant and misguided. Do I need to dig up those photos of Aspen Woods, so you can refresh your memory on what the Calgary subdivision looks like?

No, taking part in an argument like that makes you stupid, so I'll try my best not to bite. Unless I'm feeling stupid.

Yeah - I posted the update on ONE and also asked the question about the construction tarp on Wonderland, but absolutely no one recently has posted anything about construction.

I think the Alberta Politics thread is much more interesting. Haven't heard from Corndogger there for a while though. Perhaps he's out painting over Rachel Notley signs?

You’ve never been one to shy away from an argument in the past.

Indeed, and I get stupider every time.

Daemon, you should use one of the free stitching programs out there, those first two single pics were really good, and a half decent stitching program would have turned those into a great pic.

By the way, great job on not zooming in as much, the pics turned out great.

No more winter photos, only from now on spring.

I try handmade stitch, however it is irregular.

This doesn't look like Calgary. I'm thinking it's Phoenix or Los Angeles. Why post something that has nothing top do with our city?

Another bonus of laneless communities besides the blue/black/green bins out front - the TELUS and Shaw and Enmax boxes that appear in in someone's front yard.

You could also have an alleyway full of ugly telephone poles.

Bad Grizzly · #**4130** Posted **Mar 28, 2019, 2:13 AM**

I ran the pic through Tineye, and it’s from Las Vegas. I’m not sure what that has to do with Calgary? Maybe I should post a picture from Kolkata and say I don’t like dense neighbourhoods.

I don't like alleys - glad they are not as common in new communities.
We back onto a green space with a pathway so there is always that option Rollerstud.

Yes I do like that as well. But I also like easy access to back yards for equipment lol

These are among the best you’ve taken Daemon. One suggestion: try using The photo stitching app or program, instead of doing a manual stitch.

I don’t think posting a pic from Las Vegas helps your argument.

Mystery solved now for sure. Stairs up to roof top

Large white brick. Possible it’s marbel?

Panorami of large mansion

Daemon · #**4137** Posted **Apr 4, 2019, 11:40 PM**

Other mansion. Not much is happening.

Strange exterior. Looks strange.

Daemon · #**4138** Posted **Apr 4, 2019, 11:44 PM**

Oh oh. Very strange. It’s blocked off because I don’t believe safe for drive over on it.

Final panoramo of whole downtown

SteveP · #**4139** Posted **Apr 6, 2019, 2:28 AM**

I don’t believe those stairs are permanent, but it makes you wonder if they’ll install pull down stairs.
