Park path

This quaint green space is along Hornsgatan in Södermalm, Stockholm, not far from the Slussen T-bana (metro) station — a neat place to take it easy on a Monday afternoon. Snapped this on my visit there this summer.

Beware of the cat!

Spotted this in Balestrand, Norway, this summer. Never did see a cat, to verify the seriousness of the warning …

Wall of whisky

It would take very many visits to sample all of those delectable choices … a quick snap-and-go of the beautifully lit display at a whisky bar in Portland, Oregon, last year.

Rocky shore

Another batch of photos from my trip to California last year … if for no other reason than to aid with a mental escape from the sudden onset of dreary weather around Calgary. Today: Scenes from lovely San Diego.

Beach on the bay

A year ago at this time, I was enjoying the sights of San Francisco for the first time in a long while. Today, with the weather finally turning more winter-like at home, here’s a wee bit of mental escape for everyone.

Your turn up the wheel

Just a lazy, warm Sunday afternoon in Hamburg. It was definitely shorts weather that day back in the beginning of August, with the temperature hitting a high of 30 degrees C … except I hadn’t changed into my shorts.
