Watch for flying pigs

… we’ll be needing such signs as this one, spotted in San Diego back in October.

Pulling back the curtain

The industry of Hollywood is all about fantasy … so it’s appropriate for some of the art in Hollywood to be the same. Here’s a cool trompe-l’oeil just off Hollywood Blvd.

Dancing in the wind

This is the work of a very talented kite-flyer, who was hanging out at San Francisco’s Crissy Field a few weekends ago.

Halo Kitty

Because the pun in the title was irresistible. Spotted this in the Hawthorne district in Portland, Oregon, last week.

Permanent night

This lovely night scene is in a somewhat narrow alley, between businesses on Kensington Rd. near 10 St. N.W. in Calgary.

Colour or black-and-white?

I recently posted some photos of Drumheller onto my Flickr stream. Thanks to everyone who went by for a visit.
One of you, Flickr user nokkie1, suggested I try a high-contrast black-and-white version of a photo I originally posted in colour.
They are both shown below.

No exit

No exit, V 2.0 (in black and white)

I like the ominous nature of the sky versus the relatively colourful landscape on the colour image. However, I quite enjoy the other-worldly feel of the monochrome image.
Now, over to you. Which do you prefer?
