I'm looking to take a city scape photo of downtown calgary but with the mountains in the background. Anyone have any suggestions on where I can go to get the angle I need?
The NE has a really good angle on the mountains. The new 36th Street NE has a good view across the airport near 64th ave. It's pretty far so you would need a telephoto lens.

Pros: the scale between the city and the mountain. Only a few buildings (Bow, Petro and Bankers) rise above the mountain

cons: can't see the bottom half of downtown
