Downtown Calgary

Downtown Calgary is a very picturesque place. All the major buildings in the downtown area are connected by bridges, tunnels and walkways to allow people to move between buildings without getting chilly in the winter.

Vancouver

Vancouver is a wonderful place I highly recommend visiting if you get the chance. The weather was awesome while I was there. Stanley Park is a huge park area right beside the city center which I skated around while there. I hope to go back to Vancouver some day, might even consider getting a job there if I can.

Lake Louise

Lake Louise is a spectacular area in the Rocky Mountains. From above, the water is an unbelievable blue colour.

Princes Island Park in Calgary

Princes Island Park is a small island which is separated from downtown Calgary by a small strip of water from the Bow river. There’s lots of wild life, greenery and picnic areas to enjoy.

Skating in the Rockies

For Christmas, my friend Mike Boyle took me ice skating in the Rocky Mountains :) The weather was great, well as great as minus 20 degrees can be, and there was HEAPS of ice. Unfortunately there was a tad too much snow to make skating viable.
