Another one from January: Someone didn’t notice the giant “No parking” sign posted atop a mechanic’s garage in Montreal.

Some neat-looking lights at the front of a concept vehicle on display at the Montreal International Auto Show in January 2020.

I recently came to the realization I have a series of photos snapped during a visit to Montreal and area at the beginning of 2020 needing to be edited. This, in turn, made me aware of several more photos from Phoenix and Las Vegas from the end of 2019 I have yet to share. All that to say … there will be a few older pictures showing up here over the next little while as I slowly make my way through them.
Here’s the first of the bunch, from inside the Cosmodôme in Laval, Quebec, an interactive museum and educational facility dedicated to space exploration and the science of the solar system. One of the rooms includes a model of the solar system, correct for size but not distance. The little blue ball near the centre of this photo represents Earth, dwarfed by the sun behind it, accompanied by one of the inner planets — can’t remember which! — (centre left), and flanked by Saturn (left) and Jupiter (right).

Here are a few more snaps from a visit around the town of Banff last weekend.
Looking east(ish), above, through the trees at the top of Tunnel Mountain. Below, from top to bottom, Cascade Mountain looms over Banff Avenue, seen from bridge over the Bow River; looking west(ish) along the Bow River and the Canadian Pacific rail line, from top of Tunnel Mountain; and two images from the Marsh Loop trail.

Went with a friend to hike this past weekend in the town of Banff, nestled amongst the mountains in the national park bearing the same name. This is one of the splendid views along the Bow River from within the town.

A view from a cool piece of art that on display at the Phoenix Art Museum.
“You Who Are Getting Obliterated in the Dancing Swarm of Fireflies” by artist Yayoi Kusama, above, is a darkened house of mirror filled with strings of colour-changing LEDs.
Below, I had some fun with the camera while inside the art display.

Some cool rock formations paired with equally cool clouds just outside Kingman, Arizona, as seen through the window of an intercity bus back in December.
