Breakfast all day, Calgary, Alberta, Canada

A beautiful, modern painted sign, seen in a city that has precious few of these from any era. Red’s Diner is on 4th Street S.W. in Calgary, in the Beltline on the way to Mission.

This is a portion of a mural, hidden away in a back alley in Calgary’s Chinatown that’s filled with more art like this.

Things are not as they seem (1), Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Van Gogh Observes, a sculpture by the late Canadian artist Joe Fafard, is installed outside an art gallery along 4th Street S.W. in Calgary.

From afar, the shadows in the work struck me as being a little odd, so I walked up to it for a closer look. Imagine my surprise when I figured out what was going on!

This is one of a two capsule-shaped pieces of public art hanging around Calgary’s city centre that I’ve spotted over the last week or two. Wondering how many more there are lurking around town …

What a lovely way to mark a happy occasion. This custom street sign was spotted on the patio of a condo building in Calgary. Congratulations to the happy couple!
