One of the downtown Metro Rail stations in Los Angeles has figurines strung from the ceiling, as if they were sky-diving. Neat effect … once you’ve noticed them, that is!

Because we're all five years old inside

So … yeah. Not exactly highbrow but it made me chuckle! Spotted in Portland, Oregon, back in the fall.

Airport pardner

Airport pardner

One of the many pieces of art to adorn the public spaces at Calgary International Airport.
Art is everywhere … and it’s not all western/cowboy themed.
There a life-size rock climber overlooking the main public lounge, a huge horse sculpture near the customs exit, aircraft hanging over one of the departure terminal, metallic etchings and carvings amid the floor tiles.
Every time I fly or pick someone up, I try to find something new, a little visual adventure to pass the time.
