Merry Christmas

Calgary, Alberta, Canada

A snowy owl stuffy is perched atop one of a number of Christmas trees decorating (or is that decking?) the halls of The Core shopping centre in downtown Calgary.

I wake up to your sunset

Yup, another photo title modelled after song lyrics. You can see downtown Calgary off in the distance behind all the airport infrastructure.

To eliminate all manner of glare, I was holding up my sweater in one hand to try and block out some interior lights while taking the photo with the other hand. I’m sure I looked really goofy to the people around me but at least the picture turned out.
