Artistic indiscretion

As you wander the public market along the harbour in Helsinki, this is one of the pieces of public art you can see close by. And everybody looks.

For good luck

This is the smallest statue in Stockholm, found in Gamla Stan. At only 15 cm tall, I can believe it! Also, not long after I snapped this shot, a hobo came by and snapped up all the cash …

Not as dangerous as it looks

Is this a brave soul or a foolish adventurer trying to free-climb the Kulturhuset in Stockholm? Neither: She’s a mannequin.

Change in elevation

Stockholm is hilly in many places, meaning lots of stairs and tunnels to get around.

IMG_9484-9492

For those among you who don’t live in Calgary, you should know our weather is … how shall I say … variable.
The photo on the left was taken yesterday; it was sunny and the daytime high was 25 to 27 Celsius, depending who you ask.
The photo on the right was taken today; definitely not sunny and the temperature has been falling since overnight, now hovering around 0 Celsius.
What a change!
