Coal Drops Yard, London, England, U.K.

Just a few minutes from the King’s Cross/St. Pancras railway complex in London are the Coal Drop Yards, a former industrial area along the Regents Canal being remade for modern retail/leisure, near other new buildings housing offices and residential spaces. Here is one of the buildings, as it was about a year ago.

Time for a parade

One of the premier events connected with the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo is the annual Parade of Wonders in downtown Calgary, featuring some of the big names attending the show and a gaggle of cosplayers in full costume. Also at this year’s parade, which took place last Friday, was Batman with his Batmobile and a fully kitted-out DeLorean (above) from Back to the Future — without the flux capacitor, it seems.

City blocks, Calgary Expo

One of the things I love seeking out at Calgary Expo is the Lego area, operated by the Southern Alberta Lego Users Group. This is from this past weekend.
