Stephen Avenue

Stephen Avenue in downtown Calgary is a section of one of the avenues which has been for the most part closed off to traffic. It is several blocks of old buildings that are still being used either in their original purpose or they have found a new lease in life in the form of shops or restaurants or bars. It really is a great place to hang out and it is only one block over from the hotel in which we were staying

Looks like a great place to grab a bite to eat and then take an evening stroll!

I think more places should be closed to traffic like this, as long as they provide enough parking.

Great shots of downtown Calgary. I have only been to and from the airport when we went to Banff and Jasper so we didn't get to look around.

Love the re-use of old buildings, it keeps history around! Why closed off to traffic?

I'm enjoying these scenes. I had interviewed there for a position back in 1980 and I don't think I've been there since then. It's interesting to wonder what my life would have been like if I'd taken the job there!

great shots!

Tree beautiful pic.`s of the streets and city.

Always a great idea to close off roads for pedestrian use only. Plus you get better photos without cars being in shot :o) xx

On of my son's sister in law ( he has two) lives in Calgary and over the years I've seen a lot of pictures of the city on their facebook, but not a picture of were some streets in the city were blocked off to traffic. I think it's a great idea. would be less hectic to go walking and not have to worry about traffic. I really like your collage, Brian.

It does look like a great place to stroll in. I like the way you've placed two shots with similar povs on either side of the central picture, makes a nice balanced triptych.
