Ohhh haha, when you said "a few of our latest aerials," I thought you meant you were part of the Stock Aerial Photos website photography group. No worries. Welcome to the forum nonetheless!



This is my favorite recent addition to the Calgary folder on Stock Aerials...

Yep, I'm one of the owners and photographers of Stock Aerial Photos / Peak Aerials. Just saying I noticed some traffic from here on the site thanks to your posting of image links so I came to check it out!

Amazing! Welcome and thank you... these photos are like hard drugs to us city enthusiasts!

Does that mean we can make 'fantasy vantage point' requests?

Hah! I guess it does! We would certainly be able to accommodate specific shots within reason, but obviously not guaranteed as we need to focus on our clients needs first.

So you're one of the guys I get to blame for getting in the way of my other traffic over YYC.... Nice shots, though, they're worth it.

We couldn't do our job without the amazing folks in ATC working to keep us safe in the skies! We'll have to come pay a visit one of these days with some prints (er.. bribes) for you guys (and girls)! You do great work!

Are you working terminal or tower?

Terminal, and I was just busting your chops. You guys are (generally) out of the way, not a biggie. Though I still contend Calgary's the most photographed city by air in the world, the number of photo flights we deal with is insane sometimes.

Great shot! Interesting how that perspective makes it appear as though Broadway and the downtown are farther apart than they actually are.

Some self-taken photos in between all the Flickr finds.

It still provided me an opportunity to take some nice photos from one of those tiny corner balconies. I can tell you that those balconies really entice your vertigo!

Vita in front and Dolce in the background.


Podium is a public parking. Resident parking is located underground.


Hint of Telus Garden on the left side through a dirty bedroom window.


Dolce tower is right next door which is a turnoff.


Surrounding Yaletown towers.


The new 980 Howe Street office tower.

Can you guess the city?



Montreal 1812. Thomas Davies (the artist) was a British Army Officer who fought in the Seven Years War and the American Revolutionary War.

Here's the opposite view 50 years earlier (1762):


And another from the "Mountain" by unknown artist circa 1902.


Here's a modern shot. Notice the same hills in the background?
