It was still a cold day here in Canada. But I couldn't just stay home. So I decided to go somewhere to shoot. But before I went. This was what I saw on my cars Window.

This house came from downtown Calgary. They took the house down brick by brick then restored it in this park brick by brick. I just wish the few historical houses and building there in the Philippines will be kept like this. Its free to dream anyway. But if only it could be true.

Nice captures, although a bit on the under side. I'm Edmontonian. But I've been to Calgary a lot since half my relatives live there.

Hi Nino! Thanks! We just arrived here last September. And it was so cold for us, specialy when the temperature droped to -32 last week. Have'nt had a chance to shoot for some time because of the weather. Have'nt been to Edmonton yet. Still getting used to this place. If you visit Canada again just give me a call and maybe we can have a photo op here. Hehehehe! My number here is 403-697-7844.

Nice set. I like the blue tinge on the images - very effective for conveying winter.

Nice shots. When I was there, I didn't notice these things. Maybe I just wasn't able to go to Heritage Park. The antique houses look great. The chapel interior looks so cozy as it should be.

Hope you're doing ok there in Calgary. It was so cold and dry back in the spring of 2004. I can't even imagine winter. Hehe...cheers! :)

Hi Edric! Its still very cold and dry here now. Just 3 weeks ago the temperature dropped to -38. That was my first time to feel that kind of weather. We're ok now, almost adjusted na din naman kami. Thanks for viewing! :)

Hey Bon! I'm enjoying your Sigma, been my workhorse since that time in Glorietta. :D

Great photos, I like the way you combined dark tones with the beautiful blue sky.

Great shots Ronnel! IMHO, I find some of them too dark. It must be really cold there now; was there just last month, went to a few places and took some photos. If you want to, you can check my photos in my multiply account: http://acrondue.multiply.com/
Keep on sharing your photos so we'll be updated on how it's like there.

Ronnel, Jenni,
I usually have two layers of gloves. One thinner inside and one thicker fleece-type outside, so that I can remove the outer one and still have a thin layer left to protect my hand.
:)
enjoy shooting guys!
