Believe it or not, the pic was taken as we were landing in calgary airport. I had to crop it and fix it a bit because it was blurry.

Remind me please not to share pics with you all anymore......

well now, that's intriguing, 'coz that's exactly the same picture, and purports to be from 29 July 2007.

Heres the one from the website alongside yours as well as one that I cropped from the website, what an amazing coincidence.

For sure. That looks like the grandstand at the Stampede (just behind the string of lights).

it is, that picture is taken from somewhere near 25th ave SE behind the stampede grounds. the large flag in the picture is by erlton stampede c train station.

i can tell as i can see my house on it and ive taken similar pictures from there myself..... it is certainly not taken from the airport..

why lie and say you took a photo when you clearly didnt... you made a nice story into a farce..

I have reported your comment.

Moderator - please close this thread.

There's really nothing to report to the mods.

Come on Sue, 'fess up you've been clearly busted.

Steve - I have nothing to confess. I know where the pic was taken and when.
My last comment.

I'm sorry Sue but I know enough about photography, aircraft approaches, and Calgary to know you never took that picture.

I'm very, very disappointed that you won't own up to the fact.

oh no, im so upset.... why dont you phone the police too, or maybe the FBI... what forum rule did i break? lol... please mr moderator, dont hurt me...

are you disputing you lied? when someone has proven its a photo took back in july. and certianly taken from the ground not the air... do you want me to go and take a picture from the same spot to show you??? i can see it from my window right now...

you're the one who has made yourself look silly by posting someone's picture as your own...

Report away. I am happy to apologise if you can prove that you took the picture you posted. Its identical to the website one. The cloud formation is the same the time of day is the same, the photograph was taken from the same spot. It even has the same file name with "- " between the words. Is there a stadium at the airport? you can see it clearly if you zoom in on your picture

You would have more credibility if you owned up and said it was a fair cop.

Its not a farce, its plagiarism.

"your" picture was taken from roughly the centre of this picture. where you can see the large white curved building like a tube behind the grandstand there is a green area with a hill. that is 25th ave SE /spiller road area..

thats where the picture was taken from roughly... if it was on a plane i would be asking for my money back for the fright you must have suffered flying 10 feet from the ground in calgary's core....

Oh dear.

Actually this shot is taken from the wrong side of the Stampede grounds.

To have the shot with the sunset, it would have to have been taken from around 6th Street SE between Alexander Street and Ramsay Street.
