The photography subject of “Summer” is a really broad one. The objective of this exercise is to capture the essence of what summer is like. In Calgary, Stampede comes to mind with the parade down 9th ave coming up soon. Heritage park is another venue where a lot of summer activity is taking place. I had a look at Tom Ang’s inspirational images through the year and looked at the “Summer” pages for inspiration.
1: Summer is for barbecues, picnics and outdoor food

The possibilities are many.
For those of you interested in traveling by car in and around southern Alberta. This is an interesting presentation on Alberta Scenic Photography Guide by the Camera Store “Live TV” show and Dale Leckie, with a bit of a geological perspective https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovGX7k6gVQU
