My wife and I are walking all of the residential communities in Calgary one at a time. I like to take photos of the cool things that we see along the way.

As our summer–fall walking schedule wraps up, it’s time to share an update on our progress walking all the residential streets in 204 #Calgary communities.

With winter approaching, we’re adjusting our schedule—shorter walks, often through Calgary’s emerging neighborhoods.

Getting to the newest parts of Belmont where the satellite images do not reflect the current state of the development. All of the streets that we walked today have completed lived-in homes.

As with most of the other newer communities we’ve walked, satellite images of Belmont do not necessarily reflect its current state. On the eastern side, where the images show bare ground, there are actually large multi-unit buildings, and the other streets shown here are all completed with lived-in houses.
