Kind of on the abstract side, won't you say? But that's why it caught my eyes! We've taken photos of the metal
trees in Stephen Avenue Walk, downtown Calgary, before, but this time I was looking for something to suit
the Wings theme for Theme Thursday, and when I looked up there, I knew I've found it!

Update (July 10):
I've tried Junnie's suggestion... it was easy to get rid of the upper thingy... but I don't know if I can take a
photo of the "bird" without the building in the background, Sandra... That will be interesting to try, though...

great choice. I don't recall these in downtown Calgary, although I think it has been over a year since I have visited; so
maybe they are new.

That's a great statue. It would be cool to see it fly.

That's an eagle, and those are wings, and this is a great perspective.

Even the sunlight at the back adds some drama to the pic. I'm Mr. symmetry, so the circular thing on top can go. I think.

The abstract is perfect! It immediately looks like wings to me, abstract or not.

what amazing abstract kind of wings
would be perfect to be able to catch this perspective without the building in the background, just a blue sky
