Visibly beautiful

This shot is from a trip to New York back in February 2011. The cool thing about going to such an attraction as the Empire State Building in the dead of night on a cool late-winter evening is definitely the lack of lines through security and whatnot. The risk, however, is that you’ll encounter cold temperatures, blustery winds and rapidly shifting weather — as seen in this photo!

Vine of yarn

Captured along Kensington Rd. N.W. in Calgary, last month … and at last check, it’s still there!

(UPDATE: Oct. 11, 2013 — It looks as if it’s been removed, sadly.)
(UPDATE: Oct. 19, 2013 — Don’t know what I was looking at before, but it’s clearly still there. Sorry about that!)

Berserk

Just because “berserk” is a cool-sounding, cool-looking word. There is no other reason for the photo or this blog posting. 🙂

Reminder of all wild things

Art installation not far from Portage and Main in Winnipeg. Snapped this when I was passing through town in April.

Paris moderne

Towers of glass, steel and concrete are not the first things that come to mind when you say the word Paris.
And yet, tucked away in La Défense, is a pocket of futurism surrounded by a sea of history.

Port du casque obligatoire

Spotted this wonderful piece of street art not far from the Centre Pompidou when I was in Paris a year ago. The title of this post refers to the sign on the door.
