 This section of the Bow River in Calgary between the McKenzie foot bridge and the Stoney Trail bridges is where I take 90% of my pictures. Today I was late getting out and although I was lugging 8 pounds of camera gear with my telephoto lens, all the landscape pictures were taken on my cell phone.......






I did get a couple of pics with the Canon camera
