Calgary, AB – Bowness Park

Bowness Park is one of my favourite parks in the city alongside Edworthy and Baker directly across the Bow River. I typically end up in the area around sunset and it offers a lot of photography opportunities as the park is surrounded by water and trees. During the holidays and sometimes at night they light up the trees in white Christmas lights which adds a romantic element to the evening. They rent out canoes, paddle boats etc during the day to putter around the park which makes this park fairly unique.

Calgary, AB – Inglewood Bird Sanctuary

I visited the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary in Calgary for a nice summer nature walk and to discover a place I hadn’t been before. I never expected to see such a large amount of deer that were super comfortable with people. I hope to visit again soon as this is one of my favourite hidden gems in Calgary that often gets overlooked even by the locals.
