I left my car parked where it was near the Calgary Chinese Heritage Centre and walked to Prince’s Island Park, a long city park which straddles the Bow River as it passes through town. Lots of open spaces and people engaged in various activities.
This also gave me a pretty good view of some of the modern buildings in Calgary.
I also walked to the Peace Bridge, which spans the Bow River.
Below is a shot looking in the south end of the bridge. There are slightly raised lanes on either side for pedestrians and a 2-way lane in the center for bicyclists.
I sent photos of the bridge to some friends while I was there. They are both architects and immediately recognized this as a design by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava.
