Highway junction

Snapped this scene through the window of a bus back in December, while I was making may way from Phoenix to Las Vegas.

(On a technical note: I wonder if the speed of our vehicle created some kind of rolling shutter artifact in this picture, as I’m not certain the sign in the foreground was quite so slanted in real life.)

Illustration, Montreal, Quebec, Canada

It is difficult to appreciate this mural along Boulevard de Maisonneuve Ouest in Montreal from up close, at street level. I didn’t get to take in its full scope until I saw it last November from one of the upper-floor lounge areas at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.

Puppet Industries, Stockholm, Sweden

This is possibly the most colourful and nicely decorated garbage truck I’ve seen, anywhere. Spotted on the streets of Stockholm — another oldie from my visit to northern Europe back in 2014.
