Calgary Night Skyline

I went out to shoot a few photos last night and got some skyline shots. I shot these photos from Crescent Road in Crescent Heights. That street is probably my favourite street in city. The view you get while driving or walking on Crescent Road is amazing the whole way. If your ever in Calgary a …

Heritage Park – Calgary
