Calgary, Alberta, Canada

If you’re in even the slightest bit of denial over the snowfall that’s blanketed the Calgary area over the last couple of days, this snowless autumnal scene from a few weeks ago might cheer you up. Keep it on your screen for a little while and enjoy the fall colours under a moody sky.

Calgary, Alberta, Canada

This is one of many separate art installations all over the streets of Calgary, part of a continued effort by the city to spruce up what would have been drab-looking utility control boxes.

How appropriate it is for birds to find a home in this piece of modern art, on display outside the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles when I went for a visit way back in October 2013.
