Autumn Glory

Autumn Glory

 

There are few plants in Alberta that actually turn red in the fall. The Cotoneaster is one of the few reliable colourful shrubs. If given enough time they turn a brilliant carmine.

I Gotta Be

I Gotta Be

Although I’m still posting images for Scott Kelby’s Worldwide Photo Walk, and will be for a bit longer, the posts this week are all images which include fellow participants of the Calgary, Kensington walk.

At the street level of Poppy Plaza, the word Memorial is placed in 2 metre high welded steel letters. Previously, I had isolated the word “or”. When I saw someone photographing this lady, whose first name started with the letter M, I recognized the word “me” would make an interesting image.

The City has turned the area at 10th Street and Memorial Drive NW into something called Poppy Plaza. It seems fitting with the ideas of a memorial on Memorial Drive. They have created a open and usable public space on both sides of the north side of the Louise Bridge, with a walkway under the bridge. The old Fire Hall was converted into a City of Calgary Parks building.

One of the  photo walk participants was sitting at the top of the stairs looking for a new shot. I liked the warm light on the back of the brick building and all of the leading lines.

You’re On The Wrong Side

You're On The Wrong Side

I was walking with Gudrun, the group leader up the west side of 10th Street NW. We were informed that we were on the wrong side. Gudrun replied the better light was on that side.

Let The Light Shine

Let The Light Shine

 

In the last light of the day, the lights start coming on on Kensington Road in Calgary. The Worldwide Photo Walk was just wrapping up. I looked up just as this light came on. The lamp was almost silhouetted against the sky and I liked how I caught a bit of reflection in the window.
