Making time

This is one of the more original time pieces I’ve ever come across: a video clock at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
Fun and functional.

Glistening orange

Stuff like this is why glass buildings are generally prettier than brutalist concrete structures. Spotted in downtown Calgary last week.

Colour scheme

It appears as if this flower knew the right place to bloom, helping to create this funky colour-appropriate juxtaposition. Seen in Calgary a few days ago.

Peace at sunset

Sunset really is the golden hour.
This is the north edge of downtown Calgary, the Peace Bridge and the Bow River in the foreground and a descending sun reflected in the skyscrapers, all as seen a few days ago.
