Nothing better to do on a long layover than to discreetly snap some moody pictures 🙂
This was from Vancouver airport a little while ago.

Just saw this pop up on the phone …
Enhancements include the addition of the ever-ubiquitous hashtags and unspecified “bug fixes.”
Will have to try it out later and report back on what “bug fixes” we’re taken care of this time.
EDIT: A long-running complaint of mine hasn’t been addressed with this update: The Flickr app used to use the ‘keywords’ IPTC field and turn it into Flickr tags. It hasn’t done so since the prettier Version 2 of the Flickr app was introduced in December. Very annoying.

It’s been a couple of years since the aerial broke off this radio.
Once upon a time, I would have gone to great lengths to repair it but my geographical location and changing technology have pretty much put a permanent hold on any effort to fix this.
You see, the radio still performs just fine on AM/MW with its internal antenna; it does relatively well on FM even with no antenna.
It’s on shortwave where the missing aerial would be most noticed — and I’m saddened to report I’m normally not missing a thing.

Samis Rd. just below Rotary Park is one of my favourite viewpoints for photographing downtown Calgary. Just one downside: The Calgary Tower isn’t visible from this angle.
I guess I’ll have to take another visit to Scotsman’s Hill instead. One of these days. 🙂

A closer look at one of the condemned Calgary homes featured in an earlier blog posting.

These six homes (street numbers 101 to 121) on 19 St. N.W. in Calgary have been gradually vacated over the course of months.
They currently sit boarded up, occasionally used as temporary housing by squatters, although never for very long.
I wonder what will take their place. Knowing this city’s housing market, this land is sure to be developed before long.
