McHugh Bluff Stairs for Fitness
Made by ocean.flynn
Do tax-incentives for fitness work? MLA claims they will. May 14, 2008 Tory Calgary, AB MLA Dave Rodney is the first to propose legislation through the vehicle of a bill (2008-05-11) offering a maximum of $1500 tax relief to those who purchase a limited number of eligible fitness-related services. Would a tax credit only push a few people to step away from their screens and go outdoors, the can-but-will-not? read more | digg story Purchasing a club, team or gym membership does not make the buyer physically fit. The same degree of fitness can be achieved on Calgary’s biking, walking and hiking paths and trails. People get fit by choosing to use stairs indoors or outdoors like those at McHugh Bluff. Others keep in shape through paid or unpaid work related activities. How do we monetize their contributions towards relieving Alberta’s ailing medical system? Do we have statistics on the demographics of health-care users specifically as related to income and fitness? Do we have evidence-based research that lack of physical fitness on the part of individual’s is a key component in weakening Alberta’s medical system? Who is driving this bill? Are community members concerned with individual well-being who are not linked to the sports industry (organizations and businesses who monetize fitness) actively engaged in promoting this bill? How will this bill facilitate fitness improvement as part of quality of life issues for city’s most vulnerable populations? Is there any evidence-based research that the the most vulnerable groups, the biggest consumers of public medical system resources, would benefit in any way from a tax-incentive? What percentage of the municipal population who have access to a disposable income required to access pay-per-use fitness activities would find themselves in the tax bracket where this would benefit them? What is the real saving? What are the real costs of this proposed tax-incentive, spread across the broad spectrum of the municipal community, to encourage those few people who have the buying power but not the will, to puchase fitness-related services? Once they have purchased them is their any monitoring device that they would use them? Is there evidence-based research to ensure that those best served by tax deductible fitness-related purchases (those who have disposable income) really require a tax-incentive? If the largest demographic group using health services is a specific income or age group, why not examine ways of reaching that group first by improving universal access to fitness-related courses or memberships by financially assisting those who would-but-cannot because of a price hurdle, then focus on the vague possibility that a tax-incentive might get some people away from their screens and outdoors, the can-but-will-not?

This one's a story. It was our last curling game of the season and I decided to take photos. I was trying to capture the 'moment' on the rink, but forgot my flash was on. If you look at the end of the rink that's the other team's skip coming out of the hack as the flash goes off at the other end of the rink. I essentially cheated. She missed the shot and we stole a point. I put the camera away after that one and couldn't look the other skip in the eye for the rest of the match. BRuuutal.


Enjoying the Great View
Made by Sherlock77 (James)
McHugh Bluff (er... Crescent Hill) is one of the best viewpoints in Calgary looking south to downtown (although the Calgary Tower is now out of view) and looking west to the mountains... In case any of the Calgarians are wondering about McHugh Bluff, according to a sign about some redevelopment, McHugh Bluff is the big hill that extends from the area around Edmonton Trail all the way to the S.A.I.T. area, well I certainly learned something new today...


Eau Claire Panorama - Foggy Night
Made by DCZwick
A two-frame panorama of the downtown core. The ice fog returned. Shot from Crescent Heights, it shows Eau Claire, Prince's Island and the large buildings of the downtown core. The Bow is at the far left, Memorial Drive runs through the foreground. Exposure time was several seconds to get light-streaks for the foreground traffic. I braced the camera against a fence, as I neglected to take my tripod.


It's All in the Form
Made by Su Inc
This is my niece doing her world renowned jump kick (at least she believes so) in front of the sun. Honestly, she didn't get too high off the ground. I wanted to catch her entire frame but I had my macro lens on and was too lazy to switch and obviously too lazy to move back. =P To my surprise, this photo is featured in Explore: Highest position: #306 on Saturday, August 11, 2007

Downtown Calgary Skyline
Made by Surrealplaces
A blue hour shot of the downtown Calgary skyline This is actually a second version of this photo. Nathen (Witty Nickname) used his handy editing skills and removed the noise that was in the earlier picture, and the result was a much better picture. Thanks Nathen!. 32mm F/9 1 Second ISO 100


Aaron and the City of Calgary
Made by danica+karl
31 surviving images make up this panoramic image of downtown. High atop Crescent Heights, this pano was to be an epic 180° masterpiece. Sadly, a glitchy file transfer from CF card to HDD toasted 25 images destined for greatness and this is all that remains.


Morning light

I think this will be my last shot from this location for a while. Looking back, i realize that I don't have a morning shot from my favorite view of the city. It's also awsome that the days are getting longer. Have a great Wednesday Flickr Friends : )

Why photograph an otherwise lacklustre house? Because that little white abode is probably worth in excess of $1-million thanks to its prime location. Insane cost of living, anyone?

I missed photographing most of the great fall color Calgary has had this year due to WORK, but I got this at least walking up the hill from the Prince's Island parking lot.

The last Calgary skyline shot for a while. I'm going to wait until the Bow is topped finished on the outside and the cranes are gone before doing any more.

Crane Worker -- The Bow

A worker is out on the end of the boom, on top of the crane, on top of the Bow, some 225m above the parade. Quite the seat.
