Rebecca's brother was in town, I believe from Victoria, and he mentioned that he made his way to the Devonian Gardens and recommended we do the same. As a result, Rebecca and I made our way downtown and found ourselves in the Devonian Gardens, not before passing a few sights. It only took about 30 minutes to walk downtown. Also, it was surprising to see such a large amount of green inside a building. There were some interesting plants and a few water features. A great Oasis for downtown employees. However, if you are short on time I would skip the Devonian Gardens, take a quick tour downtown and head out to the mountains. We had plenty of time and here are a few photos:
(Train as we made our way downtown)
(Buffalo, because it is Calgary)
(Fort Calgary sign we passed as well as Fort Calgary)
(Sign as you enter Stephen Avenue)
(Metal Horse)
(Devonian Gardens at first glance)
(They had a few interesting masks around the Gardens, wood masks at that)
(We tried to do a few jump photos and this was the best one we got)
(A few of the flowers and they were planting a lot more while we were there)
(Rebecca jump shot. I think she throws her legs up to make it seem as though she jumps higher)
(We took a few photos where we tried to match the faces of the wooden mask we were standing beside)
(Me trying to match this mask)
(Another jump shot in front of the plant wall)
(The Plant Wall - with Rebecca taking a photo for a stranger)
(Reflections)
(Inside the Core Shopping Centre - glass roof)
(Another shot of Stephen Avenue - always seems to be a character or something happening)
(A shot of... a tree?)
(Rebecca has some very bad ideas when we take photos. For some reason I was supposed to give the Kanata - Canada store 2 thumbs down, may have been because of the Olympics)
(1 of the 5 ladies and countless others who fought for women's suffrage)
(Great focus on this photo)
(Another great idea - Rebecca joking)
(18th of October 1929 - Women are Persons...)
(Some interactive artwork)
(And a bird...)
