Intriguing figures

As far as abandoned buildings, go, this is a neat way to treat the windows. Spotted in Prague back in September.

Tree

Some of the playful art hung on the fence at the playground outside the Hillhurst-Sunnyside Community Association in Calgary. Captured this in late spring 2016.

Lounge chair

Free public wifi along with a bunch of artful, colourful chairs like this one … it’s as if this neighbourhood space in Prague is asking for you to hang out.

Museum of modern trash

It appears as if humour is a encouraged in the City of Berlin’s department of public works. This trash bin brought a smile to my face when I came across it back in September, at any rate!

Three-sided portals

Staring up at this building on Oxford Street in London back in September, I found the window design particularly pleasing for some reason.

Street art for everyone

Another sample of the street art adorning a remaining section of the Berlin Wall in eastern Berlin, known as the East Side Gallery.

Down is up

Here’s another piece of art adorning a panel of the remnants of the Berlin Wall, along what’s now known as the East Side Gallery. Captured this back in September.

Watching the canal

This fella looks as if he could be a character come alive from the NFB animated video of the Canadian folk song The Log Driver’s Waltz, but he’s really quite far from turn-of-the-20th-century Canada. This specimen is overlooking a canal by Kampa Island in Prague.

Polka dots

Happened to come across this very colourful pillar while wandering down a quiet street in London’s Soho neighbourhood back in September. There appeared to be no obvious reason for the decoration … but then again, who really needs one?

Domain of the robots

… and their monkey accomplices. There’s always something creatively put together in the display window of this local Calgary toy store. This instance was from October.
