Christmas every day

Someone added Christmas decorations to a tree in Calgary’s Kensington neighbourhood back during the holiday season … and they are still there!

Highway junction

Snapped this scene through the window of a bus back in December, while I was making may way from Phoenix to Las Vegas.

(On a technical note: I wonder if the speed of our vehicle created some kind of rolling shutter artifact in this picture, as I’m not certain the sign in the foreground was quite so slanted in real life.)

Paseo, Calgary, Alberta, Canada

This is a quick smartphone snap from down on Stephen Avenue in downtown Calgary, just minutes into 2020. This is a pedestrian-only area during the day but normally open to cars after 6 p.m. In the small hours of January 1, 2020, the people of Calgary had clearly decided otherwise.

Illustration, Montreal, Quebec, Canada

It is difficult to appreciate this mural along Boulevard de Maisonneuve Ouest in Montreal from up close, at street level. I didn’t get to take in its full scope until I saw it last November from one of the upper-floor lounge areas at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.
