This chicken is cheering for everyone, it seems.
Back in the fall, dressed up for former Stampeders QB Henry Burris …
… and today, playing the role of Flames net minder Miikka Kiprusoff.
The ultimate bandwagon jumper. In a good way.

This is street art put up on some boarded-up windows in Curtis Block, which stood on Macleod Tr. across from the Stampede grounds in Calgary. It’s something you will never see again: The building was demolished in July 2008.

The winter blahs and blues have you down? Then come travelling with me through time and space … back to 2006, when I spent a few days in beautiful Puerto Rico.
I have a few more photos from that trip over on Flickr.

One of the newer buildings at Concordia University’s downtown (Sir George Williams) campus in Montreal.
Very cool foyer, lots of art exhibited inside. Wish it was around when I studied there!
Taken in January.

Sorry for the long gap between posts — but yes, I’m still here.
For the Family Day long weekend, I thought it would be great to go up the Calgary Tower to take in the view.
I’d never been there before and the weather was absolutely gorgeous on the Monday afternoon.
I wasn’t the only one admiring the awesome city vistas from up there:
Whoever you are, thank you for helping me make a cool photo.

It just occurred to me the Calgary skyline poster at the top of this blog will soon need overhauling. Since I snapped that photo almost three years ago now, a truckload of new buildings have popped up in the core, including a couple that are still under construction. In fact, there are so many new buildings this city’s office vacancy rate is expected to soar in the coming years.
Anyway … time to hoof it to that parking lot on the east side of Nose Hill Park for a refresh, don’t you say?
