No standing in alleys

Some parking rules never change, apparently! Seen in an alley in Seattle.

Longest block

Beautiful arches outside of The Bay store in downtown Calgary … and this wide-angle view helps to make it look as if they stretch on forever.

This little piggy went to Pike Place in Seattle

Pike Place Market in Seattle is as much a feast for the eyes as for the tummy. Here’s what caught my eye on my recent visit there.
The most unusual feature of the market, I found, is represented by the last photo in this series, which is a portion of the bubble gum wall in Post Alley. Chewed up bubble gum turned into rubber street art. It even smells like gum down there.
