About this series:

Alberta Centennial September 1, 2005, marked the 100 Birthday of Alberta, Canada, as a province. Along the year before this date, many celebrations went on around the province. After all, it's a date that comes up ones in every 100 years... and we were around to take part in it *s*.

Celebrations in Calgary started officially at Downtown's Olympic Plaza, on 3:00 PM, September 1, 2005, and ended with a spectacular fireworks show on 10:10 PM that day. This series aims at showing our visitors what went on in those 7 hours, and how we Calgarians enjoyed the celebrations. Each photo is accompanied with few info words at the bottom of the page. All photos were taken on September 1, 2005. In the next few days we'll add more. Click the left thumbnail to start the viewing.

Very nice. How close to the front were you?

Thanks, guys :-)).

Derrick, we stood right by the first step of the stage, but Joe went up the stairs to grab the photo of the three. He
thinks it was something like 4-5 m.

I like the way you present this picture, a baby sitting comfortably on the baby chair looking at your camera, while the
adults keep moving across without bothering...

Thanks, guys. It feels great when a photo has an impact on others, as it had on us :-)).

Wonderful series. I especially love the photo of the young girl posing for you while the rest of the world walked on
by.
