Royal Canadian Legion No. 264, Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Crews continue putting the finishing touches on the new home for the Kensington Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion in Calgary. In the photo above, the old legion hall is the low, brown building in the background on the right side of the frame. These pictures were snapped a few days ago.

A view of The Shard in London, seen through an architectural feature on the Southwark Bridge across the Thames. This image is from my first visit there in October 2012.

Leipzig University, Leipzig, Germany

This modern university building in Leipzig, Germany, mimics what stood there previously. Snapped this photo back in September.

Mind's eye

Another snapshot from my visit to Prague back in the fall — this one showcasing a pleasing (IMHO!) juxtaposition of modern and historical architecture.

Three-sided portals

Staring up at this building on Oxford Street in London back in September, I found the window design particularly pleasing for some reason.

King's Cross, redux

I love this structure at King’s Cross station in London. There’s something soothing about the curvy lattice … although I couldn’t tell you why, exactly.

Mirror universe
