One of the things that I loved about Calgary, was the amount of Public Art that was in the city. Basically, everywhere you looked there was some sort of art installation. On of my favourites was John McEwan’s “Weaving Fence and Horn” in front of the Trans Canada Tower. The city even has an iPhone App to help you navigate through it all (I kinda wish I knew about this app while I was in Calgary)
While I was in Calgary, they had daily Square Dancing on Stephens Avenue Walk as a part of the Calgary Stampede. It happened daily from 10am to noon and they encourage onlookers to join in. After watching one dance take place, Robyn, roped me into dancing and it was a lot of fun.
On Saturday, I spent the day at Rafter Six Ranch in Kananaskis Valley as a part of #NokiaUnfenced. The views were scenic, we spent a couple of hours climbing in trees and even did some horseback riding. It was an awesome day. More pictures to come.
Happy Monday Morning! I hope you all had a great weekend, I spent mine on a Ranch in the Rockies.
Today’s photoblog entry was also shot at the Wychwood Barns. A little message of love tied to a tree. If only love were as easy as tying a little label to a tree. It’s unconditional, which is the hardest hurdle.
Sometimes you just got to stop and smell the flowers. A wonderful bunch of Bee Balm that I found in the 4th Barn at Wychwood on Wednesday night. Right about now, I’m waking up with a gorgeous view of the Rockie Mountains in Canmore, Alberta. Heading off to Calgary for a few days, later today. Excited.
The Wychwood Barns has many aspects, which include, community space, artists, a green house and a whole slew of other amenities (Dog park, Water Park, Volleyball court)
Every Saturday, from 8am to Noon there is a Farmer’s Market. Have you been to the Barns? What do you like to do there?
Outside of Barn 4 at Wychwood, there is this mini water park, but I couldn’t figure out how to turn it on. It obviously works, cause the pavement was all wet. Does anyone have any ideas?
I’m flying out to Alberta today. Spending the weekend in Canmore and early next week in Calgary. Hope you all stay cool here in Toronto while I’m gone.
Just as I was walking by this home yesterday evening, this rough collie was settling in on the porch and just sat there and posed for me. She probably sensed that I was a photographer, such a smart dog.
