Two City Landmarks by bkbinthecity

Two City Landmarks

Well we arrived in Calgary for day one of our getaway. While Melody was checking on our reservations for High Tea tomorrow I took the chance to step outside and get a few shots. The Calgary Tower has been a well known landmark in this city for many years. The building beside it is the Fairmount Palliser Hotel which is where we are staying. The hotel was a surprise for me as an early anniversary preset from Melody. She knows how much I enjoy historic buildings and the hotel opened in 1914.
good picture like the way it's peeping out
