Pulled pork poutine

Well it’s too bad I only made it down to the Stampede grounds on its last day, otherwise I might have been acquainted with this culinary discovery a little earlier. It’s a pulled pork poutine, sold by the folks from Calgary’s Big-T’s BBQ. Apart from the usual fries and cheese curds, it’s topped off with their delicious pulled pork and barbecue sauce. A beef variant was also on the menu. Definitely worth a try at the next Stampede …

Stampede life is a blur

Water from the rain on Sunday got inside the lens housing of my compact camera. This is a random shot through the condensation, producing an abstract representation of the Calgary Stampede midway.

Were you kept up by yesterday’s night-long thunder-and-lightning show over Calgary? The following short clip was typical of the the view from my balcony.

Intertwined

I was struck by the random “melding” of natural and artificial.
