Plane taking off from Calgary Airport and flying into a fiery sunrise
Calgary, a city of about 1.1 million people, is situated in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies. It’s in the region where the Great Plains of Central Canada abutt the mountains. Calgary is about 1 hour’s drive east of beautiful Banff National Park. It was also the host city of the 1988 Winter Olympics!
Calgary has a short but beautiful summer and a long, harsh winter. I am lucky to call Calgary my home, and to have a backyard that overlooks both the city centre and a nearby natural reserve park called Nose Hill. Shown here in today’s pictures of the day are the dynamic changes of Calgary’s four seasons, all taken from my backyard. One can really sense the beauty and power of nature…
