Wishing everyone a happy new year! This photo of a smiling snowman is an oldie snapped several years ago along 10 St. N.W. in Calgary.

Calgary, Alberta, Canada

This piece of functional public art near Eau Claire Market in Calgary has been around for a long as I can remember. Snapped this just after last week’s big snowfall.

Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Calgary got a fresh dump of snow last week, as shown above, and the weather has since gone into extra-deep-freeze territory … so I doubt these chairs on 3 St. S.W. downtown will be put to good use anytime soon!

Not a creature was stirring …

Merry Christmas

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.
