Clear choice

A lot of signs like this one are popping up all over Calgary.
Most of them are outside pubs, announcing “Beer” and “Not beer” … so this one was a little refreshing when I came across it.

Time for a tune

Feel like tickling the ivories? You can do so anytime in downtown Cochrane, Alberta, thanks to this sidewalk piano.

You are beautiful

This electrical box in Calgary was an unlikely location for an uplifting message.

Out on the dock

Here are a few snapshots from a day trip to Lake Louise earlier this week.
As lonely as my photos make the place out to be, rest assured this popular tourist attraction is as busy as you’d expect for high season.

Canoes

Lunch with a view

Storm clouds rolling in

Lakeside log

Ice cream's worldwide reach

The pin map at Mackay’s Ice Cream in Cochrane, Alberta, shows an impressive number of visitor pins in very interesting locations.
