Wall of whisky

It would take very many visits to sample all of those delectable choices … a quick snap-and-go of the beautifully lit display at a whisky bar in Portland, Oregon, last year.

Rocky shore

Another batch of photos from my trip to California last year … if for no other reason than to aid with a mental escape from the sudden onset of dreary weather around Calgary. Today: Scenes from lovely San Diego.

Your turn up the wheel

Just a lazy, warm Sunday afternoon in Hamburg. It was definitely shorts weather that day back in the beginning of August, with the temperature hitting a high of 30 degrees C … except I hadn’t changed into my shorts.

What lies beneath the surface

One of the many turrets along the wall surrounding the old city in Tallinn, Estonia, seen along the surface of a puddle. Captured this image back in August.
