These six homes (street numbers 101 to 121) on 19 St. N.W. in Calgary have been gradually vacated over the course of months.
They currently sit boarded up, occasionally used as temporary housing by squatters, although never for very long.
I wonder what will take their place. Knowing this city’s housing market, this land is sure to be developed before long.

London’s new tallest building, The Shard, was opened to the public this week. This is a view of the landmark as it was back in September October, from the observation platform at St. Paul’s Cathedral.
The Shard itself has an observation deck … I’ll be sure to stop by when I get back to London for my next visit.

Demolition is underway at the old Calgary Herald building site on 7 Ave. and 1 St. S.W. It’s to make way for a new building whose planned height would best The Bow by several metres, which would make it the tallest office tower in western Canada.

Notre-Dame-de-Paris Cathedral. Never made it to the observation level of the church. Perhaps, if I ever go back to Paris …

Fort Point, San Francisco, seen back in March 2010. Missing that city so very much!

The Guggenheim Museum is itself a piece of art, as you might well imagine. Here is is skylight, snow-covered when I visited there a few winters ago.
