Bankers Hall all decked out

Curtains of light
Just a word of warning if you’re planning to take photos there yourself: A security guard warned me photography at Bankers Hall is not allowed UNLESS it’s restricted to the Christmas displays (basically the Christmas tree and the lights hanging from the ceiling in the atrium). And no videos are allowed at all.

Long journey

As I was on my way to meet my friend for a photowalk, I ran into Herman Zapp, who’s driven his 1928 Graham-Paige Model 610 from Argentina to Alaska. He says he’s about to undertake a drive across Asia.
Getting around
His antique was parked at 8 St. and 12 Ave. S.W. and was attracting a steady stream of curious onlookers. Good luck to you, Herman.

Why Rooibos is good for you

Oolong Tea House in Kensington. In the  cup, not Rooibos, but something far more tart: Apple Cranberry.

Citius, Altius, Fortius

Went photowalking with Dave from work — he calls it “photo wandering” — through downtown Calgary today. Here’s a picture of Olympic Plaza:

Citius, Altius, Fortius
Of course, we found a bit of time to fool around:

First place

Like they say in French, “ça va mieux à deux.”

Go to my Zooomr site to see more photos from our afternoon on the town.
