My wife and I are walking all of the residential communities in Calgary one at a time. I like to take photos of the cool things that we see along the way.
Walking west down Creekside Green SW

Satellite imagery does not show all of the homes that now exist (and being lived in) on some of the streets we walked today.
Today we wrapped up all the #PineCreek streets west of Sheriff King Street that we were able to do.

Here are a few choice photographs captured during our stroll in #Edgemont earlier today.

Today we returned to the serenity of Edgemont Estates, nestled in the southeast corner of #Edgemont. No construction to contend withβjust plenty of elevation shifts to navigate.

Creekstone Hill SW descends 16 metres from top to bottom, ending at the actual Pine Creek
A view of Creekview Park SW. Many homes are already occupied, even though half the street is still under construction.
Creekside Blvd SW in Sirocco felt especially serene compared to the other areas we walked today.
This road, just south of Sheriff King and Creekview Drive, once led to a farmyard thatβs no longer there. To the left, you can spot one of the greens at Sirocco Golf Club.
Letβs take a look at some of the sights of #PineCreek, a community still transforming into a livable neighbourhood.
#Calgary #yyc
Saturday's 0.68 km, 10 minute walk around Creekstone Hill SW. Only about half the houses on this street are occupied. Lots of empty lots still not built on
Today's 2.12 km, 28-minute walk took us through the parts of Creekview where people are actually livingβsurrounded by nonstop construction. Just completely chaotic. I don't know how they do it.
Another walk today: a 0.70 km, 10-minute loop around Creekstone Park and Creekstone Landingβanother pocket of completed homes where people are already living. No construction on these streets.
And lastly, we did a 1.45 km, 18-minute walk through a part of the Sirocco section of Pine Creekβalso relatively free of construction.
We took our first walk in #PineCreek on Saturday. Today, we returned to explore a little more.
Pine Creek is still deep in construction, especially south of Creekside Blvd, where only scattered pockets of completed homes are occupied. Today, we visited 3 of these lived-in pockets.
