Batmobile, Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo

In anticipation of my one and only day attending the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo tomorrow, here are two iconic vehicles from the comic and science-fiction world — Batman’s Batmobile, above, and the DeLorean from Back to the Future, below. Spotted both during my first Calgary Expo back in 2012.

Street art, Portland, Oregon

Spotted this lovely piece of wall art a few weeks ago on SE Division Street in Portland, Oregon. It’s a shame some thoughtless tagger chose to vandalize this.

This fella adorns a building in Leipzig, Germany, not too far from the central train station, in the city’s historical quarter. Spotted back in September.

Space Taxi, Portland, Oregon

I’ve visited Portland several times in the last few year … and this is certainly one of the strangest things I’ve encountered there. This so-called “Space Taxi”, spotted parked on NE Alberta Street, goes a long way to help Keep Portland Weird.
