WOW
What an amazing ride those Flames took us on. They really put the "Canadian" back in Hockey. Loved the pictorial Rafal. Hope you enjoyed celebrating along with the team. M

Hockey Lords Prayer
Oh mighty Flames, who art in Calgary, hallowed be thy name.

Thy Kingdom come, thy game be won, on ice as it is in practice. Give us this day a great many goals. Forgive us our penalties, as we punish those who score against us. And lead us not into humiliation, but deliver us from Tampa Bay and grant us Lord Stanley's cup.

Amen.

Go Flames Go!
Thank you for your kind comments and words of support for Calgary Flames.

As Mr. Chuck Posen pointed out, this is a travel site...and that is exactly what my pictures present: images of life in the Calgary community-- images that show the people and atmosphere in a time of unity and local fun! Any traveler, who is preparing or researching information about a destination and who sees pictures from the life of a community which is living in harmony and peace, and having peaceful fun can be assurred of a safe destination and vacation place.

Regards,

Rafal

Go Flames Go!

Great photos
Hi Rafal, just wanted to say good on you for putting some photos up to show support for the Flames, I hope they whip Tampa Bay in the decider! Go the Flames. I have friends in Calgary that are keeping me informed. Good luck!

Nicely done, Rafal!
It certainly has been a colourful and exciting time in Calgary, and one which would have startled many an unsuspecting visitor. Of course there are always a few who disagree in a boorish fashion. Anyway, they're good shots, and I was among those who are happy to see them.

Send these to ESPN. We are at this site to view travel pictures, not sport pictures. Hockey....who cares??
