Approach and arrival into Calgary, Alberta ...

A dozen photos from the plane on the approach to Calgary International


The main welcome sign approaching immigration and ten gallon hats


 Brown and white all over - fresh out of the winter with the snow still melting ... watch for the contrast in ~6 weeks' time on the return - should be getting green by then!
 Straight lines of the Dominion Land Survey (DLS)  first started in 1871 - the method used to divide most of Western Canada into one-square-mile (2.6 km2) sections for agricultural and other purposes



 Hints of The Rockies on the horizon ... we'll be heading in that kind of direction early tomorrow morning
 Downtown Calgary under the wing

 Rockies in the distance again
 Downtown
Twin runways at the top right of the picture ... we're about to make the 90 degree turn ...
 ... and they all live in little boxes ...
