On July 21 I went with family to Heritage Park. It has been decades since I was last there. It is the height of the summer, so everything was open and there were lots of guides. My favourite was the Chinese Laundry. Good for Heritage Park to recognize the uncomfortable side of colonization and immigration.
After realizing that none of us were really into old cars, we walked down mainstreet and enjoyed a team of black horses pulling a wagon.

We took a train ride around the park, and this is the train pulling into the station.

A trip on the S.S. Moyie seemed like a good idea. During that trip we had a good view of downtown. The haze and smoke can be seen dulling the image. This is one of the few vantage points in Calgary where the Calgary Tower can be clearly seen. We also watched a race between two rowing teams.

After the boat ride I was feeling the heat and tiredness; so headed home. On my way out of the park, just before the exit I spotted this Swainson's Hawk above the Purity sign. Seems like Heritage Park does have something for everyone!
