Corridor of Connection

A lot of visual appeal on the walls of the 4th Street S.E. underpass, which connects Calgary’s East Village and Victoria Park neighbourhoods.

Day for remembrance

Some of the poppies growing in the median of Memorial Drive in northwest Calgary, when they were in full bloom back in the summer.

COVID-19 has made it more difficult for Canadians to attend public ceremonies taking place for Remembrance Day. Despite obstacles caused by the current health crisis, there’s nothing stopping us from taking time today — and really, any day — to reflect on how the sacrifices made by veterans throughout our history have shaped our country. Lest we forget.

Conz

There’s certainly a not-quite-human feel from this piece of wall art in Calgary’s Beltline neighbourhood.

Take me to another time and another place

In places, Venice Beach sometimes feels like something else. This photo was snapped back in October 2013.

Eating time

My social media reminded me that seven years ago at this time, I was at the end of a trip along the west coast of the United States. This picture was from somewhere in Hollywood, if memory serves — one of the more whimsical scenes I captured during my visit.
