Spent a few hours dodging rain showers while checking out Koblenz, Germany, back in September 2015. Here’s Deutsches Eck — German Corner, at the confluence of the Rhine and Mosel rivers — and its replica monument to Kaiser Wilhelm, not long after an epic downpour.

This is the last photo I took of the little yellow house once belonging to Enoch Sales.
The building in Calgary’s Victoria Park neighbourhood, long in a state of disrepair, was the last remaining Queen Anne Revival-style home in the city. It had been slated to be part of an area revitalization project called the Rivers District.
The building burned in a two-alarm fire on Feb. 2, 2019, and was subsequently demolished.

Although I’m not sure streetcars ever ran on Central Ave. in Phoenix, Arizona, this retro-looking sign is cool nonetheless.

Another view from my quick hike in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area last month. The remnants of the old Sutro Baths are at the left, along the shore.

Today marks the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War. In Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the U.K., the poppy has become the symbol of remembrance of fallen soldiers in all wars. The poppy was first used in this way by the American Legion, inspired by the poem In Flanders Fields by Canadian Lt.-Col John McCrae. The poppies in the photo above were spotted in bloom at Riley Park in Calgary, back in August.
