The end of summer is fast approaching and that’s why I thought SUMMER is the perfect topic for getdown.ca’s first photo essay.
Some of the signs of summer downtown are:
- the full patios at lunch every sunny day
- the seat on the C-Train that you never usually see
- the sounds of happy kids at the Eau Claire wading pools
- the tourist standing uncertainly on a street corner (and hopefully being helped by a HOST)
- and the crowds that flock to the festivals every weekend
What do you see downtown that reminds you of summer?
You’re invited to submit your photos to our “Summer in Downtown Calgary Photo Essay” by 8:00am on Monday, August 29, 2021. If your photo is selected we’ll post it in the photo essay on this blog, but you’ll retain all rights to your photo(s) and be given credit.
To submit photos, email them using the subject “Summer in Downtown Calgary Photo Essay” to sophyk at downtowncalgary dot com with the:
- photo

- a short description of the photo
- why you think it fits the topic

I have a suggestion; some kind of better prize than your picture being posted on this blog 😉
I’ll keep that in mind for our next one (if this one goes well). For now I just want to see if this interests our readers.
How about a picture of a barren Stephen Ave. Mall in front of the Convention Centre, where your only choice of food is falafel or a sit-down patio dinner? This is where food trucks belong.
I know, I know - not the venue for this kind of comment.
The photo contest is valuable social media. The colours of your webspace are really horrible. Could you even afford a professional colour consultant or web designer. Something to seriously consider, that colour alone could possibly drive people AWAY from this blog.
Really HORRIBLE Color on this website.
