Guest c0oldud3 Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 Hey, I was there from Sep to Dec 2009. Though I didn't do much, I missed the place. What are you there for, on an annual basis? Quote
Guest Marad44 Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 Hey, I was there from Sep to Dec 2009. Though I didn't do much, I missed the place. What are you there for, on an annual basis?Greetings c0oldud3. I migrated here from Singapore 21 years ago. Being a recent PR of Singapore, I live in both countries and travel around on the meager pensions. Quote
c0oldud3 Posted December 3, 2011 Posted December 3, 2011 Hey! Wow if I'd known there's another fellow Singaporean when I was there I'd have called in on you. I was living near Brentwood station, behind Safeway. I was there for an exchange programme at UofC. Which months are you usually back there? Quote
Guest Marad44 Posted December 3, 2011 Posted December 3, 2011 (edited) c0oldud3, I return in the winter and sometimes summer as well. I have been to Brentwood for Malaysian/Singapore groceries, a short walk from the train station. My station is Erlton Stampede. See map below. Edited December 3, 2011 by Marad44 Quote

Guest justnfresh Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 I went to Calgary for a week end of Nov in 2008 to visit some friends. We drove to Banff NP and also to Drumheller. The road to Banff was simply gorgeous. A thin layer of ice has already formed on Lake Louise. It was really beautiful but cold! Quote
c0oldud3 Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Summer is really nice, and so is Winter! The road from Banff to Jasper is breathtaking too, and I hear that the road from Jasper to Edmonton is one of the best in the country. I made a side trip up to Yukon, drove around Whitehorse a little, unforgettable man. Quote
Guest Marad44 Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 The great white north with unending highway and rural scene is a land like no other.Below are 3 photos I took in Calgary yesterday.1) Downtown Calgary. The Saddle Dome on right and Stampede Grounds on left. You can see the chuck wagon race tracks covered in snow.2) Rocky Mountains in the background, taken across the Stampede Grounds where the Canadian flag is hoisted. Beyond the western mountains is British Columbia where Vancouver is the capital. Behind and to the left of the flag pole is the red-lighted 24-hr Humpty's Family Restaurant, facing my condo complex, with snow-covered black roof.3) Snow-covered Benches on the look-out point where I photographed from.

Guest Marad44 Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 the pics are so niceone of the pics..look like a stadium or somethingYour observation is correct marriedmly. The indoor stadium is the Saddldome, shaped like a horse saddle and the open one is the grand stand, both on the Calgary Stampede grounds:https://www.google.ca/search?q=calgary+stampede+grounds&es_sm=122&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=1xYAVIjxHuj5iwLa_IHYAw&ved=0CEUQsAQ Quote
