Calgary Stampede Impressions

It is that crazy time again, the Calgary Stampede. Here are some observations from the sidelines in downtown Calgary, Saturday around noon. Starting with the real intimidating security:

I wonder if those Amazons would have had their facial expressions if they stood in front of a mirror?

More Amazons waiting to get into the bar to wet their dry throats ...

Hmmm, I wonder what the deal was? Or is she just happy to see her boyfriend? At any rate, she reflected well.

Took the next two images to see if I would get arrested for 'obstructing justice' ... This is what happens if you have too much alcohol in your system - you get dumped on the lawn where there are "NO DOGS ALLOWED".

And you end up under the watchfull eye of the law

Lucky me, I did not get arrested ...

oh my, what a set! in the last one the cop's expression says 'oh crap, now what do I do? she'll probably barf in the back of the car'.

I plan on going downtown again, if the weather turns sunnier ... it is amazing what you see there ... and the expression on the policeman's face? I think he felt pity for her ... then again, you may be right ..

Matt last year I finished work at 2AM on my way home I seen a lot of stuff happening because of to much partying. Your photos do tell a story. Was it heat stroke or booze?

It rained ... and she was part of the "party bus" gang invading the watering holes;

Nice set...The last one is my fav, a well captured moment

I think I have to learn to use smaller images. Scrolling through them just annoys the living daylights out of me, so I bet others think the same ...

Nah Matt...You just need a bigger monitor

PS...As someone pointed out to me so I'll pass it along, right click the image and select "view image" or some such thing and there you have it

PSS....My new Imac runs at a fairly high rez and I'm now always bitchin..." Come on people...Can you post something larger!"

PSS....LOL...Like a dog can read that sign
