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

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

Pooches surely appreciate the sentiment! This was spotted on 10 St. N.W. in Calgary during the Sun and Salsa festival a few weekends ago.

Adventures with Tintin

Another throwback from my vacation in Amsterdam last year, a neat (and unintentional) juxtaposition captured on my first afternoon in town.

Battle of Endor … in Lego!

A bit of time travel today, back to Calgary Expo in April. The Lego table was always crowded with people of all ages leaning in to see the marvellous work done by the people who constructed intricate scenes, including ones depicted here.

High-speed, high-flying chase

Ewok attacks!

Did somebody call a doctor?

Cost-effective space program

If this person can get to space on spare change, then all the power to him. He could be the saviour of human space exploration.
I’m also sorry to hear aliens broke his space ship.
Spotted in Calgary in early June.
