The Alberta Ballet

Calgary, Alberta

The Nat Christie Centre is home to The Alberta Ballet.

Built as a parish hall for St. Mary's RC Church it was
sold to the Canadian Northern Railway in 1911. A
platform was added and the first trains used it in 1913.

After years of sitting vacant it was bought by The City of
Calgary and now is back in use.

Excellent shot, Peter. I loved to read the story about the The Nat Christie Centre, very interesting. Good to hear that it's back in use after all these years. Definitely a place worth to see, according to your awesome picture.

Outstanding capture, Peter. Your B & W processing is masterly applied.
Love the multi-tone greys. Great dynamics well into the shadows.

Wonderful work as usual.
