Permanent night

This lovely night scene is in a somewhat narrow alley, between businesses on Kensington Rd. near 10 St. N.W. in Calgary.

Early signs of fall

Shades of yellow and orange tinting our deciduous trees … including this one at Calgary’s Confederation Park.

It’s good to have choices. 🙂
EDIT: Looking at this post again, it’s really FOUR methods of transportation: Cyclists are so ubiquitous in Amsterdam, I literally didn’t notice them in the top photo!

Line No. 7

Mobile home of sorts

Horse and buggy

Captured these images almost a year ago now.

Wall of tears

Spotted this alongside a parking lot behind St. Mary’s Cathedral Basilica in Halifax, Nova Scotia, when I visited briefly back in the spring.
