Paris, France

A few of my friends are visiting Paris at the moment … and I’m itching to get back one day for a proper visit. This is a view of the Place du Trocadéro, foreground, with the skyscrapers of La Défense off in the distance as they appeared in late 2012. If I recall correctly, this view is from the Eiffel Tower.

Here’s another giant mural in Montreal’s Plateau Mont-Royal area. This one’s behind Moishe’s steakhouse (if I remember correctly), spotted back in February.

Calgary’s Brookfield Place office tower seen on a cloudy night a few weekends ago. The windows look as if they could stretch on to infinity.

So many places seem to be building themselves one of these. This is from my visit to Montreal in February.

Calgary, Alberta, Canada

The latest variant of a shot I love to take. These are the arches in the arcade at the Hudson’s Bay department store in downtown Calgary, snapped last week and filtered by Instagram.
