This is my last post for this week and the next two weeks as I will be away on holidays. Hopefully I will bring a few worthy pictures to share with all. Cheers :-)
***************************************************
Calgary's dense business area comprises the bulk of the downtown community. It is a core of modern, glassy skyscrapers, with perhaps less character and street life than many of the other downtown and inner city districts. Some of the tallest buildings in western Canada and indeed, a few of the tallest in the country are in Calgary. Many of the buildings are connected via an 18 km (10 mile) long network of elevated walkways and bridges. The system, known as the "+15" is the largest of its kind in the world.

An impressive blue sky here helps make the town really come to life in this Calgary landscape. The coolness from the blues helps add atmosphere as well.

Hi Roberto.all these different shades of blue give the picture a cool feeling. Then of course there is the ice on the water. The streak of warm brown gives life to this scene, together with the lovely light. Have an enjoyable break. Klaudio.

Last but not least..still a nice composition showing the interesting downtown city view with beautiful sky as bg. Have a great holiday friend and send my warm greeting to Aga & Michal, i'm sure you will caught much beautiful pictures in Poland.

best wishes

Hi Roberto,
Nice clouds with the perfect blue sky and very nice the Calgary downtown. Very nice sharpness on the buildings and nice colors. The reflections seen on the still water look very nice too.

Calgary is such a beautiful city, and you've captured it very well with very nice lighting and colors. A really good pov. TFS '

Excellent cityscape in golden and blue, I like the distant silhouettes of the sky scrapers under the blue sky, the water reflections and the sun-lighted field. The wind-mill is a welcome bonus...

TFS,
Andreea

Hola Roberto.
Very good photo with the river in the fg and the city in the back, lovely colors and light. Good POV and sharpness.
Wish you a nice holidays.
Abrazos.

Great shot of Calagray, we can see some of the lingering snow they got by the truckloads in the last weeks ;D
The frame seems a bit angled though, if my memory's right the city was mostly flat as the prairies.
Good point on the walkways, I might have some downtown pictures showing them too...

Que tal Roberto, me gusta mucho la composición que trabajaste en esta fotografía, los cielos azules le dan un carácter muy interesante.

Hello Roberto, Nice skyline with lovely different shades of blue & contrasting well with yellows & browns. Enjoy your holidays.
Regards
Santo

Hello Roberto,
A good capture of the city skyline under a wintry blue sky that brings a certain atmosphere to the scene. The reflections in the foreground water are a nice bonus. Very good clarity.

Salut Roberto!
Très impressionnant les couleurs de cette photo prise en fin de journée. Le ciel est magnifique et la lumière sur les édiffices donne un bel effet. J'aime bien aussi les branches d'arbre que tu as inclus à gauche et la réflection.
Félicitations!... et bonne vacances,
Emilius

Hi Roberto
Very beautiful composition with excellent colours and sharpness. Amazing light and nice reflections
TFS and have a nice day
Aires

Roberto,
I believe that you're in Poland right now but it is nive that you left something at TE with the reference of your home - Calgary. Funny to see how all this modernity of skysrappers seems to to be in the middle of the wilderness. Maybe the foreground and that branch to the left side gives that impression.
Peter

Hi Roberto!

Excellent choice of the square framing for this great photo! Marvellous composition, excellent light managment, great depth of field and beautiful, "soft" colours! Congratulations!

Hercules

Hi Roberto!
There is a nice feeling to this one! I know you are on holidays but I wanted to leave a note. This is such a pleasant blend of rural and urban elements, and the wonderful sky really finishes it off. Nice work! take care,
Steve

Your choice of POV make this a lovely composition. Excellent shot of the skyline of Calgary.Well done.
Best wishes,
Achim

Hi Roberto, this lightness gives a nice interesting atmosphere, I like the way you dealt the photo-the parts of it.
The yellow part between the blue works very very good.
Have a nice month.
Evangelos

Bonjour Roberto
