Bowness Park

A nice day is spent by a family canoeing on the Bowness Park lagoon.  The park is getting a large facelift and there is much construction around the area but still can find peaceful locations in the park.  The park is located in the far NW of Calgary.

Ice Skating downtown

Last year Calgary decided to open up eau claire for skating, such a great idea and an alternative to Olympic Plaza!

Good-bye Calgary!!!

I spent my last weekend in Banff, Alberta with my family before moving to Santiago, Chile for my last semester of University where I will be teaching English along with online courses.  This picture was taken at Sunshine Ski Resort.   It is funny I am leaving Calgary here where the current temperature is -40C with the windchill and should arrive in +30C in Santiago.  I am going to be really confused haha.

Good news regarding Calgary Daily Photo:  My dad is going to submit photos to me to post on my blog to help keep the pictures coming.  The posts will be less often but will be a reminder for me of Calgary.  Hope you continue following.

Thanks for all your interest,

Kris

Talisman Centre

This is the largest multi-sport centre in Canada and second largest in North America.  I have many great memories coming hear throughout my youth to play basketball and diving off the variety of diving boards.

NBA Jam 2011

This weekend was NBA Jam Session.  It is a 3 on 3 basketball tournament that goes to each major city across our large nation.  Our team again got stuck playing last years winners in the quarter-finals and lost which is unfortunate for the bad draw as we had a really good team.  There is me shooting a 3-point shot in the bottom picture.

Slam Dunk

One of the craziest dunks I have seen live in a slam dunk competition
