Booming City of Hopes and Dreams

by Unknownsu - last update: Mar 4, 2005

Home is where the heart's at!

Amazing Skyline for a City of 1 Million
Calgary is an attractive and dynamic city situated on the banks of the Bow River and close to Canada's majestic Rocky Mountains. A city which clashes between modernization and nature. Banff is an hour's drive from Calgary. Residents of Calgary escape their stress-filled lives by taking a day's refuge in the small toiwn of Banff and her surrounding areas.
Downtown Calgary is a cosmopolitan dreamscape with numerous skyscrapers, massive shopping centers and sophisticated restaurants. To ward off winter's extreme cold, a series of interconnecting mezzanine-level tunnels link the entire downtown core.
A winding river separates downtown from Kensington road where you will find quaint shops, thriving arts and lovely cafes. Sit back on the outdoor benches and enjoy the warm Chinook winds when they roll into town. And, of course, experience Old Western spirit at the famed Calgary Stampede.
This picture was taken when I first visited with my friends back in 19XX. It was our sad excuse trying to spell Calgary by using our bodies to its full potential. Obviously they failed miserably. Sorry if the picture is blurry; I was too busy holding my stomach from cramping up due to extensive laughing…..
